Abstract
After initial failure with conventional angioplasty of a total right coronary artery occlusion, we were successful in obtaining patency using a combination of intracoronary thrombectomy and thrombolysis. This represents the first report of this technique in the therapy of total right coronary occlusions.Keywords
