    Insights

    A stab wound patient developed left anterior descending coronary artery occlusion due to surgical ligation during ventricular wound repair. This iatrogenic complication highlights a rare but serious risk in cardiac trauma management.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Surgery
    • Interventional Cardiology
    • Trauma Surgery

    Background:

    • A 27-year-old male presented with dyspnea due to mixed aortic stenosis and regurgitation.
    • The patient had a history of a stab wound to the left anterior chest.

    Acute Coronary Syndrome III: Diagnostic Studies

    Diagnosing acute coronary syndrome or ACS begins with a thorough patient history. Notable symptoms include central, crushing chest pain radiating to the left arm, neck, jaw, or back, along with shortness of breath, sweating (diaphoresis), nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and palpitations.It is crucial to note any history of cardiac illnesses and assess risk factors, including age, gender, smoking, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and a sedentary lifestyle.During physical examination, vital...
