✦ Synopsis

Coronary angioplasty in a thombotic vein graft is associated with a low success rate and a high risk of periprocedural complications. The aspiration thrombectomy catheter is a new device designed to treat such cases. We report a first angioscopic description of thrombus removal by the AngioJet thrombectomy catheter.
