Abciximab rescue in acute carotid stent thrombosis

F C Tong et al. AJNR Am J Neuroradiol. 2000 Oct.

Abstract

Occlusion of an internal carotid artery stent was identified immediately post placement in a patient who had restenosis after prior angioplasty. An IV dose of abciximab was administered, and serial angiograms were performed. This resulted in partial resolution of the thrombus at 10 minutes and complete resolution at 20 minutes.

Angiograms of a 44-year-old man who underwent carotid angioplasty and stenting. Arrows = stent. A, Angiography shows recurrent stenosis of left ICA (curved arrow). B, Immediately after stent placement, there is no residual stenosis. C, Several minutes later, angiography depicts occlusion of the ICA. D, Twenty minutes after abciximab administration, the thrombosis is resolved.
