Abstract
Slow/no-reflow phenomenon during emergent percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) results in a poor prognosis. A high thrombus burden was an independent predictor of angiographic slow/no-reflow phenomenon. We experienced a case of a STEMI patient with massive intracoronary thrombus. In our case, a massive red thrombus was aspirated easily by adjunctive pulse infusion thrombolysis (PIT) after failed aspiration. Adjunctive pulse infusion thrombolysis after failed aspiration might be a useful strategy to prevent the slow/no-reflow phenomenon in STEMI patients with massive intracoronary thrombus.
