Cabrol technique and its modification are used as second line or bailout procedure in reimplantation of coronary arteries after aortic root replacement. Percutaneous interventions of Cabrol graft with aspiration thrombectomy and stenting have been previously described. We report a patient who successfully underwent percutaneous intervention on the graft by rheolytic thrombectomy followed by stenting in the setting of ST elevation myocardial infarction.
