Hybrid Coronary Thrombectomy for Thrombotic Storm Rescue

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Although large randomized trials have failed to demonstrate a clinical benefit from conventional aspiration thrombectomy,1 innovative strategies remain needed, particularly in patients with large thrombus burden. We report the case of a patient presenting with late inferior myocardial infarction and massive, organized thrombus in the right coronary artery (RCA), requiring the combination of 2 thrombectomy techniques to restore coronary flow.
