Case Report (n=1)
This case report highlights the rare phenomenon of spontaneous recanalization of a coronary chronic total occlusion, possibly facilitated by standard antithrombotic therapy post-STEMI.
Kos et al. (2019) conducted a case report in Chronically occluded right coronary artery and acute ST elevation myocardial infarction (n=1). Standard antithrombotic drugs was evaluated on Recanalization of the occluded right coronary artery.
