ABSTRACT

Aortic stenosis is associated with an increased risk of death from cardiovascular events. Nevertheless, acute myocardial infarction in patients with severe aortic stenosis and normal coronary arteries is very rare. We report a case of acute myocardial infarction occurring in a patient with severe aortic stenosis and left ventricular hypertrophy. A coronary angiogram performed during the acute phase of evolving myocardial infarction excluded coronary obstruction as the cause of acute myocardial infarction. This case was successfully treated by aortic root enlargement (Nicks procedure) to alleviate the severe aortic stenosis.
