Managing acute myocardial infarction in a renal transplant recipient.
We describe the management of a patient, with a 13-year-old cadaveric renal transplant, who presented with acute myocardial infarction. Successful primary angioplasty was performed to the left anterior descending artery. It was complicated by transient renal failure and pseudoaneurysm of the femoral artery which was managed conservatively.
