Extraction of a Fragmented Guiding Catheter in Elderly Patients with Myocardial Infarction
Abstract
Because of the increasing
number of elderly patients undergoing diagnostic coronary angiography and
percutaneous coronary intervention, the incidence of rare complications might
increase. Here, we discuss the management of a fragmented guiding catheter in
elderly patients with inferior myocardial infarction.
