Angiographic Result

Objective. To improve the results of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) treatment. Material and methods. We have analyzed 2 clinical cases of unfavorable course of AMI. Results. The middle aged patient who had ST segment elevation acute coronary syndrome received immediate full reperfusion therapy (thrombolysis and stenting). It was performed early in the course of the disease and demonstrated good angiographic result. Postoperatively there were no typical evolution of ECG signs of AMI. By the end of the first day we registered stent thrombosis with fatal outcome. Cause of death: acute left ventricular failure. The area of infarcted cardiac muscle was about 40 %, in the projection of the apex of the left ventricle the acute aneurysm was formed. Perhaps this situation has been associated with disorders of microcirculation in the infarcted area, which can be potentially neutralized by inhibitors 2b/3a receptors of platelets. This drug was given to this patient too late (during rethrombosis). In another observation (with the same circumstances) the inhibitor of IIb/IIIa GP receptors was given during the early postoperative period, what was followed by the natural course of AMI. Conclusion. These examples demonstrate the need of additional antiplatelet support (inhibitor IIb/IIIa GP receptors) in such clinical situations.
