Abstract

We experienced a case of primary percutaneous coronary intervention for ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) using appropriate infection prevention protocol. However, recanalization was difficult due to severe coagulopathy. Further researches are needed to clarify optimal treatment for STEMI in patients with COVID-19.

Keywords: COVID‐19; ST‐elevation myocardial infarction; coagulopathy; infection prevention protocol; out‐of‐hospital onset.
