[A myocardial infarction during pregnancy treated by percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty and stent implantation. Case report].
Acute myocardial infarction is an un-frequent event during pregnancy. It clearly causes an increase in both maternal and fetal mortality. We describe a case of pregnancy complicated during the second trimester by an acute myocardial infarction witch was treated by percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty combined with stenting. The challenge involved in managing this condition during pregnancy is briefly discussed.
