title: Coronary stent stenosis in acute myocardial infarction.
abstract: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) represents one of the major mortality causes in the world. Treatment of AMI is widely known; however, in developing countries some medications are not so easily available yet. We present a case of a 49-year-old black male patient who suffered an AMI and 2 weeks after stent angioplasty evolved to a new ischaemic episode with a stent thrombosis. The patient did not use the prescribed medications.
