Cine image review: the images capture thrombus located in the distal rca, in the distal portion of the resolute onyx stent, and in the previously deployed unknown brand stent.The outline of previously deployed stents are visible in the vessel.A medtronic export catheter is used to treat the thrombus.An unidentified balloon is used to post dilate the stent at the site of the thrombus.Post-dilation is continued throughout the proximal rca.The next images capture the blood flow restored throughout the rca, with no evidence of a thrombus.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
