BATISTA, IGNACIO et al. Infarto agudo de miocardio con shock en un paciente portador de un trasplante hepático. Rev.Urug.Cardiol. [online]. 2008, vol.23, n.1, pp.71-75. ISSN 1688-0420.
SUMMARY The clinical case of a 60 years old male with a history of liver transplant, with an acute inferior myocardial infarction, complicated with shock and complete atrioventricular block, is presented. We describe the therapeutic strategy applied in this case, which included a primary coronary angioplasty of the right coronary artery. The current therapeutic recommendations for this kind of patients are reviewed. After a follow up of 6 and 12 months the patient is still alive with a good functional class. This is the first case of this kind reported in Uruguay.
