A 49-year-old patient with previously known multivessel disease presented with myocardial infarction and underwent cardiac catheterization, during which he sustained a severe ischemic stroke as a complication of the procedure. This operation involved re-opening the right coronary artery (RCA), mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for the right middle cerebral artery, and recanalization via a radial and femoral approach. After follow-up with rehabilitation. One week later, interventional revascularization of the left anterior descending artery (LAD) and left circumflex (LCx) was performed successfully.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
