Child myocardial infarction and follow-up outcome after revascularization.
The occurrence of myocardial infarction and revascularization by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in children, though rare, has usually been reported to be due to secondary causes. Here, we report "real-world" revascularization by PCI in the youngest reported patient with atherosclerotic coronary heart disease, with excellent outcome after more than 30-month follow up.
