Abstract

UNLABELLED: Although recurrent ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in the same coronary artery due to acute stent thrombosis has been reported in the literature, there have been no reported cases discussing consecutive STEMI recurring in different coronary arteries in the same patient in one day. Herein, we report an elderly male patient initially suffering from STEMI over the inferior wall who subsequently had another episode of STEMI over the anterior wall within several hours. Despite primary percutaneous coronary intervention being performed over both the right coronary artery and the left anterior descending artery, the patient eventually expired notwithstanding intensive care. This case should caution physicians that consecutive STEMI in different coronary arteries is an extremely rare but still possible medical phenomenon, and could lead to catastrophic clinical outcome.

KEY WORDS: Myocardial infarction; Primary percutaneous coronary intervention; Recurrent ST-elevation.
