[Hip surgery immediately following stent revascularization of an acute myocardial infarction].
Due to the high risk of perioperative adverse events, elective surgery should be suspended for at least 4 weeks after myocardial infarction and coronary stent revascularization, as current guidelines suggest. This report describes the successful management of a patient who underwent urgent surgery for a displaced hip fracture immediately after stent revascularization of an acute myocardial infarction. No new perioperative ischemia was detected. The therapeutic options and the timing of surgical procedures after stent revascularization are discussed.
