The patient was undergoing a thrombectomy procedure in the right coronary artery (rca) using an indigo system catrx aspiration catheter (catrx), a non-penumbra sheath, a non-penumbra guide catheter, and two non-penumbra balloon catheters.During the procedure, the physician used the two balloon catheters to perform balloon angioplasty and open the very stenosed vessel.Next, while attempting to advance the catrx passed the thrombotic lesion in order to aspirate, the catrx would not advance; therefore, it was removed.The procedure was completed using two overlapping drug-eluting stents.There was no report of an adverse effect to the patient.
