Case of acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction in infective endocarditismanagement with intra coronary stenting
Embolic events from infective endocarditis can cause acute coronary syndrome. Mortality rate is high and optimal management might be different from those chosen in setting of classic atherosclerotic coronary artery disease. We present a case of 56-yearold male who had received 5 weeks of antibiotics...
