title: Percutaneous coronary intervention in a patient with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction and hemophilia A.
abstract: We report the first case of myocardial infarction in a hemophilia patient which was not directly precipitated by infusion of a clotting factor, and the second hemophilia patient with infarction treated with primary coronary artery stenting. Anticoagulation and platelet inhibition are problematic in such patients. At 2 years after infarction, our patient has experienced neither ischemic nor bleeding complications.
