Angiography revealed Distal Left main thrombus, partially extended and occluding the left anterior descending and the left circumflex coronary arteries (figure 1). Thrombus aspiration was done, the left circumflex was freed, but the thrombus fragments shifted to the proximal left anterior descending and diagonal with TIMI flow 3 (figure 2).

Patients with isolated left main coronary artery disease should be considered for CABG. Left-main stem stenosis is reported to be present in 4-6% of patients undergoing coronary angiography (Taggart, 2007). CABG has generally been considered the golden standard of therapy for left main-stem stenosis for the last decade.

Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of death of both men and women in America. The aim of interventional treatment for Coronary Artery Disease is to increase the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the heart by bypassing the coronary arteries. The surgical procedure used to accomplish this is known as Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting or CABG.
