Abstract
- The patient was admitted for urgent coronary angiography following an acute anterior ST segment elevation myocardial reinfarction (STEMI) caused by acute stent thrombosis. A stent had been implanted 10 days prior to the reinfarction for an acute anterior STEMI. However, the patient had stopped taking ticagrelor post-discharge. Primary percutaneous coronary intervention of the left anterior descending artery was performed. Subsequently, due to a high C-reactive protein (CRP) level, 3 CRP apheresis sessions were performed, with the first session starting 12 h after the onset of symptoms. A significant drop in CRP was noted after each apheresis. The post-procedural course was uneventful.
