Catheterization and Cardiovascular Diagnosis
|January 1, 1987
Summary
This case study details successful urokinase treatment for a blocked nondominant right coronary artery causing isolated right ventricular infarction. Prompt recanalization relieved chest pain and corrected hemodynamic issues.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Interventional Cardiology
- Vascular Medicine
Background:
- Myocardial infarction can result from coronary artery occlusion.
- Right ventricular infarction, though less common, presents unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.
- Nondominant coronary artery occlusions require specific consideration in acute myocardial infarction management.
