Key result
Pulse-spray thrombolysis rapidly restores TIMI 3 flow in three patients with acute coronary obstruction and large thrombus.
Why the study?
Does pulse-spray thrombolysis restore coronary flow in patients with acutely obstructed coronary arteries due to large thrombus?

Does pulse-spray thrombolysis restore coronary flow in patients with acutely obstructed coronary arteries due to large thrombus?
Pulse-spray thrombolysis may be an effective and safe modality for rapidly restoring coronary flow in critical situations involving large coronary thrombus.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support use in refractory large-thrombus cases; hypothesis-generating and should not change practice without prospective trials.
Saito et al. (1997) conducted a case report in Acutely obstructed coronary artery with large thrombus (n=3). Pulse-spray thrombolysis (PST) was evaluated on Restoration of TIMI 3 flow. Pulse-spray thrombolysis successfully restored TIMI 3 flow within 15 to 25 minutes in all 3 patients with acutely obstructed coronary arteries and large thrombus, with no complications.
