Perioperative acute myocardial
infarction (AMI) is the most common cause of postoperative morbidity and
mortality. It is a rare but important and fatal complication. Recognizing this
situation may be difficult due to the influence of general anesthesia. Early
diagnosis and treatment can decrease the morbidity and mortality of this fatal
complication. In this case we present a 56-year-old female planned nephrectomy.
After induction of general anesthesia acute inferoposterior myocardial
infarction occurred and coronary angiograhy showed the proximal portion of the
circumflex coronary artery (Cx) was occluded by thrombus, the left anterior
descending coronary artery and the right coronary artery were plaque.
Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty and the stenting resulted in
successful dilatation of the Cx and she was discharged at the fifth day of
intervention without any complication.
