SM, a 69 year old male, admitted urgently with severe crushing chest pain. His past medical history included chronic colitis. ECG confirmed ST elevation myocardial infarction (heart attack). He underwent emergent coronary angiogram through the right radial artery (in the wrist) using a 6F catheter. The test showed the left anterior descending artery - one of the arteries of the heart - was found to be occluded proximally. Using aspiration (sucking out), a small red clot and large amounts of white clot were removed. Significant stenosis was crossed and predilated with the RX Euphora 3.0mm x 20mm balloon. Following, the XIENCE PRO 3.0 x 48mm stent was deployed.

What procedure did you have sir? Endogram. And can you tell us your experience of this procedure? By my experience I can recommend it. It's really good. I don't have any complaint. The service what I got it here was the best service I can recommend to anybody. And they treated me nicely. Is there anything that you would want to tell a prospective patient who's going to have the procedure? I recommend to any person they can do this one because it's not hard, it's for their life and the procedure they're doing it is really nicely done under good supervision. And lastly sir, was there anything that you experienced during the procedure which you did not expect? To be honest, really, I never knew that they were going to do it without, what do you call it, giving me antacid, something like that. And they had done it, my eyes opened, everything, and I didn't realise it, the operation was done already. Okay. And you were okay when they released you? Yes, they released me. Were you in any discomfort during the procedure? After that, I was in discomfort, I was really giving up, vomiting. I killed about three or four times.
