Abstract

We document the high effectiveness of an extra guidewire insertion aimed at mechanical lumen protection of the right marginal branch from displaced thrombus, which frequently occurs during proximal right coronary artery stenting.

Keywords: STEMI; cardiac imaging; mechanical thrombus protection.
