In order to bail out the slow-flow phenomenon (slow flow) created by a massive thrombus in an ectasic right coronary artery, a thrombus was mechanically extracted with a 6 Fr right Judkins (JR) catheter, which proved to be more useful than a usual thrombectomy using a Rescue PT system catheter (Rescue). In case 1, the Rescue was used in combination with thrombolysis but failed to alleviate the slow flow that was implicated in a large infarction. On the other hand, in case 2, aggressive thrombectomy with a 6 Fr JR catheter with an 8 Fr Amplatz guiding catheter successfully extracted the massive intracoronary thrombus, restoring good coronary flow. Therefore, mechanical extraction with a 6 Fr JR catheter is safe and useful in cases of massive thrombus when diffuse coronary artery ectasia complicates an acute myocardial infarction. In addition, this method should be applicable to cases of acute coronary syndrome with massive thrombus.
