Abstract
The 6Fr Hydrolyser thrombectomy catheter for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) successfully removed a massive thrombus in the coronary artery in three patients. The 6Fr Hydrolyser catheter could be advanced into the right coronary artery with bare-wire methods via a 6Fr sheath at the radial artery. This approach suggests that the device can be an alternative method for thrombolysis in selected AMI patients with massive thrombus in the coronary artery.
