Abstract
The presence of massive intracoronary thrombi may contraindicate stent ing. The AngioJet(TM) catheter rheolytic thrombectomy prepared the roa d for an easy and uneventful stenting in 2 patients with acute myocard ial infarction (AMI) and thrombi. This combination provides a promisin g strategy for patients with AMI and angiographic evidence of massive thrombi. (C) 1998 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
