Abstract
Aspiration thrombectomy was performed to retrieve intact thrombus in a 69-year-old woman. Bradycardia and hypotension rapidly resolved. Balloon angioplasty was performed at the site of proximal RCA in-stent restenosis with improved angiographic appearance and TIMI 3 flow in the major branches.
