Abstract

A 66-year-old woman with Polycythemia Vera suffered an postero-inferior acute myocardial infarction: this is a relative rare association. The association between primary coronary angioplasty with stent implantation and anti-aggregant and myelosuppressive treatment was followed by important clinical benefits for the patient. To our knowledge, there are rare reports in the literature relating the triad of Polycythemia Vera, acute myocardial infarction and primary coronary angioplasty with stent implantation.
