Abstract
Acute myocardial infarction has been reported to be a common clinical complication after renal transplantation. This case report involves a retrospective review of the clinical management of a 56-year-old woman with a history of renal transplantation, who developed acute myocardial infarction and was treated with percutaneous coronary intervention and anti-coagulation therapy. After the treatment of percutaneous coronary intervention and anti-coagulation therapy, she was then readmitted to the hospital with upper gastrointestinal bleeding, renal calculus formation, and subsequent kidney injury. The unique of this case is that we encountered a patient who had acute myocardial infarction after renal transplantation with percutaneous coronary intervention treatment, with complications involving renal calculus formation and upper gastrointestinal bleeding. And we outline the risk factors of complications and the risk factors of anti-rejection and anti-coagulant drug therapies that had been prescribed to manage her renal transplantation and acute myocardial infarction. The lesson that we can learn from this clinical case report is that the follow-up management concerning patients with acute myocardial infarction after renal transplantation with percutaneous coronary intervention treatment is vital in the clinic and should be strengthened.Entities:
