  • Title: Rheolytic thrombectomy for thromboembolic occlusion of the internal carotid artery complicating coronary intervention.
    Author: Kawamura A, Tilem M, Gossman DE.
    Journal: J Invasive Cardiol; 2006 Mar; 18(3):E108-10. PubMed ID: 16495604.
    Abstract:
    Stroke associated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is an infrequent, but devastating complication. Intra-arterial thrombolysis has been used with limited success, but there are no widely accepted strategies for acute ischemic stroke during PCI. We report a case in which the AngioJet rheolytic thrombectomy device was used in an attempt to re-establish patency of an occluded internal carotid artery in the setting of an acute stroke caused by thromboembolization from the right coronary artery during PCI.
