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.
