Abstract

Acute myocardial infarction after lung transplantation is not well illustrated in the literature. We present a patient with documented non significant Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) in coronary angiography before lung transplant who was referred to our hospital with acute Myocardial Infarction (MI) 33 days following lung transplantation.

Keywords: Acute myocardial infarction; Air embolism; Coronary artery disease; Lung transplantation.
