Abstract
Key Clinical MessageCoronary occlusion due to large thrombus is frequently encountered during ST‐elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Despite guidelines discourage this practice, often thrombus aspiration is necessary to reduce thrombotic burden and to prevent embolization. We report a case of mechanical thrombectomy with a Neurovascular Catheter from radial artery during inferior STEMI.
