STEMI Following In-Stent Restenosis in Coronary Takayasu Arteritis With Pyoderma Gangrenosum in a Teenaged Athlete

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Takayasu arteritis is a rare vasculitis of the aorta and its branches. Here, we present a teenaged athlete with coronary arteritis and pyoderma gangrenosum, the youngest person whose case is described in the literature. She received immune modulation and percutaneous coronary intervention, with subsequent in-stent restenosis and cardiac arrest requiring coronary artery bypass grafting.
