Acute Myocardial Infarction in a Young Adult with Coronary Artery Ectasia Presumably Caused by Kawasaki Disease: The Role of Thrombosuction
نویسندگان
چکیده
Direct percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is now the standard first-line therapy for all patients. However, few studies on PCI in young patients with AMI and Kawasaki disease have been published. Herein, we report a case of AMI in a 26-year-old man with a history of Kawasaki disease. Emergency coronary angiography showed a thrombotic occlusion of the ectatic left circumflex artery. PCI with aspiration thrombectomy alone was performed successfully. Restenosis was not observed on coronary arteriography at 6-month follow-up. Our report suggests that PCI with thrombosuction for young patients with AMI and Kawasaki disease can be safe and effective.

Technetium-99m-pyrophosphate (99mTc-PYP) has been used, in combination with thallium-201, to estimate the site and extent of myocardial infarcts. We report a case of acute myocardial infarction with severe coronary disease in which the distribution of 99mTc-PYP was extensive. A 78-year-old man presented with dyspnea, and a diagnosis of non-ST-segment elevation acute myocar...

Background: Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute vasculitis in children. Eosinophilia, a reflection of the host's immune response that can cause tissue damage, has been associated with KD, with eosinophils preferentially accumulating in the microvasculature. In early-stage Kawasaki disease (KD), lesions (perivasculitis and vasculitis) first form in the microvessels, which can then extend to the la...

This study evaluated the relationship between the location of the most severe coronary artery stenosis and the subsequent acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods: Of 1590 patients who were admitted with a diagnosis of AMI, we identified 44 patients who had undergone previous myocardial perfusion SPECT. Thirty-one of these patients also had previous coronary angiography. The relationshi...

Some investigatoes reported taht there is a relationship between.H.pylori chronic infection and the prevalence of acute coronary artery disease(CAD).it is suggested that H.pylori chronic infection causes some changes in serum levels of lipids an lipoproteins and produces inflamatory proteins which could give rise to thrombogenesis.in order to comfirm any correlation between positive history of...

We present a 35-year-old man with history of Kawasaki disease who referred with myocardial infarction, and angiography, revealing aneurysm of left main and left anterior descending coronary arteries. The patient underwent percutaneous coronary intervention and thrombectomy and was discharged after 6 d. Coronary artery sequels of Kawasaki disease should be considered as one of the underlying cau...
