A Case Report of Stuck Thrombus Aspiration Catheter (Thrombuster) in Left Anterior Descending Artery of A 59-Year-Old Patient Undergoing PCI for Revascularization.

Hardware entrapment during percutaneous coronary intervention is a significant complication necessitating proactive anticipation by interventionists. Here we present a case of a 59-year-old man with a history of stent placement in LAD 1 month back, who now presented with stent thrombosis and acute ST-elevation MI. Percutaneous intervention was done for thrombus aspiration through the previously deployed stent, but the thrombus aspiration device (thrombuster) got stuck in the stent.
