Embolic acute myocardial infarction treated by intracoronary catheter aspiration embolectomy in a patient with mechanical aortic valve prosthesis

Sub-acute anterior myocardial infarction due to the discontinuation of warfarin in a patient with aortic valve prosthesis: what is the best treatment

“…Intravascular ultrasonography and optical coherence computed tomography are very useful to diagnosis so which treatment is the best; thrombolysis, angioplasty or stenting. Previous cases of coronary emboli in association with prosthetic mechanical valves have been reported previously but the treatment is controversial [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. We present a patient who had a mechanical aortic valve and was admitted to the hospital for a sub-acute anterior ST elevation myocardial infarction due to the discontinuation of warfarin.…”
