Acute thrombosis of a vascular channel can be a serious and perhaps fatal complication. We describe a patient who developed complete thrombosis of the left pulmonary artery following catheter placement of a stent in this vessel shortly after open heart surgery. The thrombosis was successfully removed using the Possis AngioJet mechanical thrombectomy catheter. Catheter Cardiovasc Interv 2004;61:253–255. © 2004 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
