Abstract:
Acute myocardial infarction often evolves from a mild coronary lesion. Therefore, the evaluation and management of intermediate coronary stenosis are important to prevent cardiac events. However, the decision on how to treat these lesions is challenging. Here, we report acute myocardial infarction occurring at a preexisting intermediate coronary stenosis based on invasive coronary angiography performed 10 days before the event.
