Abstract/OtherAbstract:
BACKGROUND: Arterial and venous thrombosis are well recognized systemic complications of inflammatory bowel disease predominantly in patients with crohn's colitis and in those with ulcerative colitis (UC). Aim : report a new case. CASE: We describe the case of a 35 years old man presenting previously an anterior infarct with a tighten stenosis in the middle part of the left anterior descending artery (LAD). The stenosis was treated percutaneously with a bare stent deployment. During an acute exacerbation of UC, the patient developed an acute coronary syndrome with ST elevation secondary to a late stent thrombosis, needing a primary coronary angioplasty. Following course is favorable. CONCLUSION: Based on this case, we'll discuss the relationship between UC and thrombosis, and therapeutic considerations inherent to thrombotic and bleeding risks.
