Summary

Polycythemia vera patients experiencing myocardial infarction face high risks of stent thrombosis and re-infarction. Knowing this hematologic disorder may alter treatment choices for acute myocardial infarction.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Hematology

Background:

  • Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) management.
  • Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stent implantation is standard for AMI.

Observation:

  • A 63-year-old woman presented with AMI and underwent primary stent implantation.
  • Elevated hematocrit (58%) and absence of coronary stenosis suggested a myeloproliferative disorder.
  • Polycythemia vera was confirmed via bone marrow aspiration.

Findings:

  • The patient experienced stent thrombosis and re-infarction 8 days after the initial procedure.
  • Rescue PCI for stent thrombosis was unsuccessful in preventing further complications.
  • Femoral artery thrombosis at the puncture site required urgent thrombectomy.
  • A second re-infarction led to irreversible cardiac arrest.

Implications:

  • Stent thrombosis is a severe complication in polycythemia vera patients.
  • Primary stent implantation may not be the optimal initial treatment for AMI in patients with known polycythemia vera.
  • Early recognition and management of polycythemia vera are crucial in cardiovascular care.
