Angioplastia transluminal coronariana em portador de púrpura trombocitopênica idiopática Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty in a patient with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura

Abstract

A associação entre a doença arterial coronariana e a púrpura trombocitopênica é rara e implica em algumas dificuldades quando a revascularização se faz necessária. Relatamos um caso dessa associação, com importante comprometimento coronariano, tratado percutaneamente com o implante de stent.The association between coronary heart disease and thrombocytopenic purpura is rare and poses some difficulties when myocardial revascularization is necessary. We report a case with this association and significant coronary impairment, which was percutaneously treated with stent implantation.
