Abstract
Though not recommended routinely in primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), thrombus aspiration can be the gamechanger in treatment for selected patient. We report a case in which ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) due to a huge intracoronary saddle embolus in distal left main (LM) was successfully treated with dif fi cult intracoronary thrombectomy. We will discuss the potential strength of different thrombectomy devices which led to the
