Key result
Immediate PCI successfully treats unexpected AMI and cardiac arrest during head and neck surgery.
Why the study?
Major cardiac complications such as acute myocardial infarction can occur unexpectedly in patients without risk factors.
Case Report (n=1)
No
Acute myocardial infarction can occur unexpectedly during non-cardiac surgery even in patients without risk factors, and prompt PCI can lead to recovery without complications.

Supports immediate PCI for perioperative arrest; leaves open standardized protocols or screening in low-risk patients.
Major cardiac complication such as acute myocardial infarction can occur unexpectedly in patients without risk factors. We experienced cardiac arrest due to an unexpected acute myocardial infarction in a patient without any risk factors during head and neck reconstructive surgery. The patient was diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction after return of spontaneous circulation. With immediate percutaneous coronary intervention, the patient recovered without complications.

Kim et al. (2018) conducted a case report in Acute myocardial infarction and cardiac arrest (n=1). Percutaneous coronary intervention was evaluated on Patient survival and recovery. Immediate percutaneous coronary intervention successfully treated an unexpected acute myocardial infarction and cardiac arrest during head and neck surgery, leading to full recovery.
