Percutaneous coronary intervention in left main coronary artery disease in a patient with hemophilia B

A 77-year-old male patient with the diagnosis of hemophilia presented himself at the cardiology clinic with unstable angina and a coronary angiography was planned. Factor IX was prepared before the procedure due to the risk of hemorrhage. Critical lesions were detected in the left main coronary artery (LMCA) and the procedure was performed on the LMCA in the same session. No complication of hemorrhage developed. Having rarely found in literature on any procedure on the LMCA without factor IX infusion we wished to report on this rare case of concurrent hemophilia B and acute coronary syndrome.
