title: [Acute myocardial infarction during labor: report of a case and review of the literature].
abstract: Acute myocardial infarction in pregnancy is a rare condition with substantial risk of maternal and fetal death. There is very little information about the use in this setting of percutaneous coronary interventional therapy. Together with literature review on this topic, we present the case of a 33-year-old 39-week pregnant woman who sustained during labor an acute transmural anterior myocardial infarction. Immediately after successful cesarean section, she was treated by primary percutaneous coronary angioplasty and direct stenting of the left anterior descending coronary artery with maternal and fetal excellent outcome.
