Abstract
|
|
|
|
Coronary artery involvement leading to acute coronary syndrome is a rare complication of essential thrombocythemia. A 43-year-old woman with essential thrombocythemia complained of severe acute chest pain. She had undergone percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with a drug-eluting stent (DES), due to unstable angina, 3 and 2 years earlier. Emergency coronary angiography revealed total occlusion of the DES with thrombus. Twenty minutes after successful primary PCI with a DES, an acute stent thrombosis developed. She was subsequently treated with coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
