The Past, Present, and Future of Intravenous Platelet Inhibition in the Catheterization Laboratory-Case Conclusion

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video transcript, the speaker describes a complex medical procedure involving a patient with a thrombus inside a stent. The speaker and their team called for various medical interventions, including thrombectomy, cataract penumbra thrombectomy, Impella, balloon pump, and 2B3A. They also discuss considerations for coronary perfusion and distal intracoronary vasodilator usage. Despite several interventions, the patient experienced chest pain, lowering blood pressure, and untreated disease. They finally post-dilated the stent and used a balloon pump, which resulted in some improvement. The patient was put on levophed, ticagrelor, and nitro drip, and eventually went home after three days. The speaker emphasizes the importance of starting ticagrelor in high-risk cases. No credits were given in the video transcript.
