A case study was submitted for review titled: "successful distal administration of high doses of adenosine and nicardipine using export catheter for treatment of resistant no-reflow in a vein graft".A patient with a history of coronary bypass grafting more than 15 years ago presented with substernal chest pain occurring in the last 24 hours to the emergency department.The patients' electrocardiogram (ekg) revealed infero-posterior st-elevation myocardial infarction.The patient was found to have 100% chronic occlusion of the right coronary and acute 100% occlusion of the mid saphenous vein graft (svg) supplying the posterior descending artery.The decision was made to proceed with intervention due to persistent chest pain despite medical therapy.A 6 french multipurpose guide catheter was used for intervention.The patient received aspirin and heparin in the emergency department.A weight-based bolus of bivalirudin was started with continuous intravenous infusion.A non-medtronic (mdt), 0.014-inch wire was advanced across the lesion without any difficulty.Next, a 2.5 × 15 mm euphora balloon was used for pre-dilatation, establishing thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (timi) 3 flow.Due to persistent residual high-grade disease, a 3.5×18 mm resolute onyx drug eluting stent (des) stent was deployed in the lesion at 16 atm.Post stenting, severe no-reflow occurred with recurrent chest pain.Administration of 60 to 100 micrograms of adenosine, and 100 micrograms of nicardipine intracoronary did not show any improvement in the flow.The decision was made to proceed with the distal administration of high doses of adenosine and nicardipine.An export thrombectomy catheter was advanced into the stented area within seconds.100 and 200 micrograms of adenosine and 200 micrograms of nicardipine was administered distally, with immediate normalization of the flow and complete resolution of chest pain.An echocardiogram revealed a normal ejection fraction with very mild basal inferior wall hypokinesia.
