Successful Catheter Intervention for Acute Coronary Syndrome in a Patient with Antiphospholipid Syndrome

Abstract

Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) has the clinical manifestations of systemic vascular thrombotic disorders. Although coronary events are infrequent,^4,7,8) they have been described. Early coronary interventions and vein graft bypass frequently failed because of thrombosis.^5,9)
Here we present a case of successful coronary intervention and management of acute coronary syndrome under a strictly controlled coagulation state in an APS patient.
