AI Article Synopsis
- A young man with cardiogenic shock required thrombosuction due to a thrombus in the left anterior descending (LAD) artery, while being supported by an intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP).
- After thrombosuction, no significant blockages were found, eliminating the need for further procedures like percutaneous coronary intervention (PTCA) or stenting.
- A follow-up angiography 1.5 months later showed normal coronary arteries, highlighting that thrombosuction without additional treatments is rarely reported in medical cases.
Article Abstract
The angiographic demonstration of thrombus laden LAD in a ventilated young man with IABP (to combat cardiogenic shock) demanded thrombosuction. Following thrombosuction no significant lesion was visible that could have mandated PTCA-Stenting. Follow-up coronary angiography in this hyperhomocysteinaemic young subject after one and a half month revealed normal coronaries. Thrombosuction alone unaccompanied by any other additional intervention is infrequently reported.
