Acute stent thrombosis in a sirolimus eluting stent after wasp sting causing acute myocardial infarction: a case report
INTRODUCTION Hymenoptera venoms contain thrombogenic substances that might be responsible for cardiovascular events independent of anaphylactic reactions. CASE PRESENTATION We report a 55-year-old man who experienced an acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction after wasp sting. The patient presented without signs of anaphylaxis or shock. The coronary angiography showed an acute stent thrombos...
متن کاملMultiple Stent Fractures After Everolimus-Eluting Stent Implantation Causing Acute Myocardial Infarction: A Case Report.
Stent fracture is an uncommon complication of drug-eluting stent implantation, but it has a clinical significance because of its potential association with adverse cardiac events such as in-stent restenosis, target lesion revascularization, and stent thrombosis. Multiple stent fractures account for a small proportion, but they may lead to more serious complications. Newer generation drug-elutin...
متن کاملSirolimus-Eluting Stent Implantation in ST-Elevation Acute Myocardial Infarction
Background—Sirolimus-eluting stents (SES) have recently been proven to reduce restenosis and reintervention compared with bare stents. Safety and effectiveness of SES in acute myocardial infarction remain unknown. Methods and Results—Since April 16, 2002, a policy of routine SES implantation has been instituted in our hospital, with no clinical or anatomic restrictions, as part of the RESEARCH ...
متن کاملRandomized trial of Sirolimus-Eluting Stent Versus Bare-Metal Stent in Acute Myocardial Infarction (SESAMI).
OBJECTIVES To confirm whether sirolimus-eluting stents (SES) safely reduce the incidence of restenosis in patients with ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction compared with bare-metal stents (BMS). BACKGROUND In the setting of primary angioplasty, stent restenosis occurs in up to 27% of patients. The introduction of drug-eluting stents has drastically reduced the incidence of resten...
متن کامل[Acute myocardial infarction after wasp sting].
Myocardial infarction after wasp sting is a rare event and this complication has been described in only a few previous occasions. We report the case of a 77-year-old patient admitted to our hospital because of an anaphylactic shock after he was stung by a wasp on the fifth finger of the left hand. Within about half an hour he sustained an acute myocardial infarction. Possible pathogenetic mecha...
