Key result
A rare case of acute myocardial infarction occurred immediately after the administration of a second COVID-19 vaccination and was successfully treated using intravascular imaging.
Case Report (n=1)
Acute myocardial infarction is a rare but severe potential side effect immediately following COVID-19 vaccination that requires prompt recognition and management.
Prompt recognition of post-vaccination MI is prudent; single case leaves causality hypothesis-generating.
We present a serious and rare case of acute myocardial infarction soon after the administration of second vaccination for coronavirus disease 2019. Patient's culprit lesion in the right coronary artery was identified and appropriately treated using intravascular imaging. Postvaccination monitoring of patients who are at high risk of cardiovascular diseases is critical. Rare but severe cases of acute myocardial infarction following vaccination for coronavirus disease 2019 have been reported. Physicians should consider this rare side effect as a possible differential diagnosis and appropriately manage such patients.

Kurozumi et al. (2022) conducted a case report in Acute myocardial infarction (n=1). Second vaccination for coronavirus disease 2019 was evaluated on Acute myocardial infarction. A rare case of acute myocardial infarction occurred immediately after the administration of a second COVID-19 vaccination and was successfully treated using intravascular imaging.
