Abstract
In this case report of a patient presenting with an acute inferior wall myocardial infarction, the infarct conduit was a saphenous vein graft. Extraction atherectomy using the TEC successfully reestablished patency and reversed the patient's clinical symptoms. Extraction atherectomy is a feasible procedure during acute coronary events and deserves further investigation.Keywords
