The presence of angiographically apparent thrombus is associated with poorer outcomes in patients undergoing PCI. Thrombus often embolizes distally and causes no reflow and associated myonecrosis. There are two broad strategies to reduce thrombus burden: mechanical strategies and pharmacologic strategies.
Management of the thrombotic lesion
Emergency bleeding control
Antiplatelet therapy to support PCI
Stent thrombosis introduction
Therapeutic embolization
Intravenous therapy
Stent thrombosis treatment
Thrombophilia medical therapy
