Alerts clinicians to Takayasu arteritis in atypical AMI; leaves open PCI effectiveness pending prospective validation.
Observational (n=6)
In young patients presenting with AMI and cardiogenic shock, Takayasu arteritis should be considered, as it often involves the left main coronary ostium and peripheral large arteries, and emergency PCI can be an effective stabilizing treatment.
Liu et al. (2023) conducted an observational in Takayasu arteritis manifested firstly as acute myocardial infarction (n=6). Takayasu arteritis was evaluated on Vessel involvement. Takayasu arteritis presenting as acute myocardial infarction frequently involved the left main coronary artery (83.33%) and subclavian artery (83.33%), with emergency PCI showing positive effectiveness.
