Recurrent acute coronary events in a patient with primary antiphospholipid syndrome: successful management with intracoronary stenting.
Patients with Antiphospholipid syndrome usually present with recurrent deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary thromboembolism and thromboembolic stroke. Recurrent coronary events, though reported, are rare. We describe an unusual case of Antiphospholipid syndrome who presented with recurrent acute ischaemic events in two different coronary territories, who was managed successfully with intracoronary stenting.
