Key result
A young patient at low risk for intraoperative major adverse cardiac events developed a perioperative STEMI, highlighting the need for effective multidisciplinary support and timely PCI.
Why the study?
Acute ST elevation myocardial infarction in the perioperative period can be challenging, requiring prompt multidisciplinary management.
Case Report (n=1)
Perioperative STEMI can occur even in low-risk young patients, requiring prompt multidisciplinary intervention including CPR and PCI.
Alerts clinicians to perioperative STEMI in low-risk youth; single case leaves open optimal protocols.
An acute ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in the perioperative period can be challenging. Effective cardiopulmonary resuscitation with multidisciplinary support systems including percutaneous coronary intervention within the recommended times enhances recovery and outcomes. We present a case of a young patient who developed STEMI despite being a low risk for intraoperative major adverse cardiac events.

Sebastián et al. (2023) conducted a case report in Perioperative ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) (n=1). Cardiopulmonary resuscitation and percutaneous coronary intervention was evaluated. A young patient at low risk for intraoperative major adverse cardiac events developed a perioperative STEMI, highlighting the need for effective multidisciplinary support and timely PCI.
