Abstract
We describe the value of mechanical rheolysis as an adjunct to rescue angio plasty and platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor inhibition in a patient with acute myocardial infarction and cardiogenic shock in whom the severity of the intracoronary thrombus burden precluded restoration of antegrade co ronary flow by conventional balloon angioplasty and stenting.
