Aim: Massive intracoronary thrombus is associated with adverse procedural results including failed aspiration and unfavourable reperfusion. In this scenario the best treatment remains unknown. We aim to evaluate the effect of low dose intracoronary thrombolysis in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) presenting with a large thrombus burden and failed aspiration.

This study aims to assess the network impact on timing and mode of reperfusion in the metropolitan area of Cagliari.
Methods: From January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2010 all patients affected by STEMI with symptom onset <12h were enrolled.
Article Synopsis
- A female infant was discovered to have a giant left ventricular rhabdomyoma that was not linked to tuberous sclerosis, which is rare.
- This case marks the first report of such a large cardiac rhabdomyoma blocking the left ventricular cavity without a connection to tuberous sclerosis.
- The baby’s treatment involved complex decisions and collaboration between pediatricians and pediatric cardiologists.
