Successful catheter intervention for acute coronary syndrome in a patient with antiphospholipid syndrome.
Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) has the clinical manifestations of systemic vascular thrombotic disorders. Although coronary events are infrequent, they have been described. Early coronary interventions and vein graft bypass frequently failed because of thrombosis. Here we present a case of successful coronary intervention and management of acute coronary syndrome under a strictly controlled coagulation state in an APS patient.
