Key result
Carotid artery stenting during acute MI triggers fatal cardiac arrest in a single case report.
Why the study?
The risk factors and safety of carotid artery stenting during the acute period of myocardial infarction are not well known.
Case Report (n=1)
Highlights the potential risk of sudden cardiac arrest following carotid artery stenting in the acute phase of myocardial infarction.

Alerts to post-CAS arrest risk in acute MI; leaves open optimal timing and requires prospective safety data.
Sudden cardiac arrest is known to be a rare but devastating complication after carotid artery stenting (CAS). However, it is not well known about who is at risk of such condition and especially whether performing CAS is safe in those who experienced recent heart diseases such as acute myocardial infarction. Here we report a patient who experienced sudden cardiac arrest after CAS which was done during the acute period of myocardial infarction.

Kim et al. (2023) conducted a case report in Acute myocardial infarction and symptomatic carotid stenosis (n=1). Carotid artery stenting was evaluated on Sudden cardiac arrest. A 70-year-old male patient experienced sudden cardiac arrest and died 4 hours after undergoing carotid artery stenting during the acute phase of a recent myocardial infarction.
