Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
We describe a case of staphylococcal coronary arteritis in the setting of sepsis due to arteriovenous fistula and dialysis catheter infection. The left circumflex coronary artery was the only vessel involved. The patient was a 77-year-old, insulin-dependent diabetic man with chronic renal failure. The immunosuppressed state in diabetes with subsequent septicemia may have facilitated a large number of bacteria to lodge in the atheromatous plaque of the coronary artery. We briefly review previously reported cases and suggest that bacterial arteritis may be an underrecognized cause of acute coronary occlusion. |
