A 56‐year old male presenting with Acute Coronary Syndrome was found to have a large thrombus partially including a bypass graft bare metal stent. This thrombus was removed using a filter wire. The thrombus burden was so large that it caused extension through the filter wire basket, narrowly avoiding distal embolisation. © 2009 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
