- Ectatic coronary arteries with a lot of thrombus can cause acute coronary events, making them tough to handle.
- Treatment options include using intracoronary thrombolytics, which help dissolve blood clots, and glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors, which prevent platelets from clumping together.
- These treatment methods show promise in effectively managing these challenging coronary conditions.

Although ectatic coronary arteries with high thrombus burden, leading to acute coronary events, can be difficult to manage, intracoronary thrombolytics and glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors can act as potential successful treatment options.
