Key result
Primary angioplasty was successfully performed in a 36-year-old male presenting with acute pancreatitis complicated by ST-elevation myocardial infarction.
Case Report (n=1)
Primary angioplasty can be successfully performed in patients with acute pancreatitis complicated by ST-elevation myocardial infarction, avoiding the potential deleterious effects of thrombolytic therapy.
Primary PCI feasible in acute pancreatitis with AMI; hypothesis-generating, leaves open need for prospective data.
Acute pancreatitis complicated by acute myocardial infarction has been reported very rarely. The exact mechanism of the cause of myocardial injury is not known. We report a case of 36 year old male presenting with acute pancreatitis complicated by ST elevation acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The administration of thrombolytic therapy in such patients can have deleterious effects. We report successful performance of primary angioplasty in this complicated patient.
