Conclusion and Results:
Post-procedure angiography demonstrated excellent results (Figure 3), with restoration of TIMI grade 3 flow, successfully revascularizing the right coronary artery without the need for balloon angioplasty or stenting. Due to the ongoing thrombus risk, the patient was started on an eptifibatide drip and remained in the CCU on aspirin, clopidogrel, a statin, and a heparin infusion. He was monitored with serial ECGs and troponin levels.
