Abstract
Polycythaemia vera is a myeloproliferative syndrome with thromboembolic and haemorrhagic complications. We describe a patient with polycythaemia vera and acute coronary syndrome in whom two-vessel intracoronary stent thrombosis occurred a few hours after percutaneous coronary intervention. The case was successfully treated by repeated stenting and abciximab infusion.
