Double vessel occlusions after balloon angioplasty treated by stenting and subsequently by abciximab infusion

Can J Cardiol. 2000 Jan;16(1):83-5.

Abstract

Stent thrombosis is a serious complication after percutaneous coronary intervention. A patient is presented with a double vessel occlusion after balloon angioplasty and subsequent stenting. He was then managed by abciximab therapy alone. Control angiography showed complete resolution of the thrombotic occlusions. His subsequent clinical course was uneventful.
