Abstract

A right coronary artery (RCA) arising from the left main is a very uncommon congenital defect. We report on a 69-year-old patient with an acute myocardial infarction submitted to primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for an anomalous RCA. The PCI procedure was complicated by an acute thrombotic occlusion, successfully treated by an intracoronary bolus of abciximab.

Abstract

Hemophilia B is a severe inherited coagulopathy caused by mutations in the gene that encodes factor IX. Surgical and invasive procedures in patients suffering from this congenital disease are to be considered as being at high risk of hemorrhage. We describe a case of a patient with unstable angina who suffered from severe hemophilia B, pre-treated with plasma purified factor IX concentrate and not on antithrombotic therapy, in whom the use of abciximab induced the complete lysis of an acute thrombus complicating the implantation of a stent on the left anterior descending coronary artery.
