Coronary embolism: surgical management

R Pifarré, J Grieco, H J Sullivan

    The Annals of Thoracic Surgery
    |December 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    Fogarty catheter embolectomy with aortocoronary bypass successfully treated acute myocardial infarction caused by coronary artery embolism or calcium debris. Early recognition and surgical intervention are crucial for survival in these rare but life-threatening cases.

    ACC/AHA guidelines for coronary angiography. A report of the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association Task Force on practice guidelines (Committee on Coronary Angiography). Developed in collaboration with the Society for Cardiac Angiography and Interventions.

    Journal of the American College of Cardiology·1999

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Surgery
    • Interventional Cardiology

    Background:

    • Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) can result from coronary artery occlusion.
    • Coronary artery embolism or debris occlusion is an uncommon cause of AMI.

    Observation:

    • Four patients presented with acute coronary artery occlusion.
    • Three cases involved emboli during cardiac catheterization.
    • One case involved calcium debris during aortic valve replacement.

    Findings:

    • Successful treatment using Fogarty catheter embolectomy and aortocoronary vein bypass graft.
    • All four patients survived the surgical intervention.

    Implications:

    • This combined surgical approach is effective for managing rare cases of acute coronary occlusion.
