The treatment of acute coronary syndrome patients with high thrombus burden is difficult. Percutaneous coronary interventions increase the frequency of distal embolization in these patients. Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors are effective anti-platelet agents and they can be very helpful in such cases. Herein, we present the impact of tirofiban infusion on an infarct-related artery with high thrombotic burden. The thrombus cleared completely without coronary angioplasty.
