Abstract

Summary – A 52-year-old men with rheumatoid arthritis of 12-year history presented with severe chest pain. The electrocardiogram was consistent with acute inferior myocardial infarction. Transthoracic echocardiography showed increased left ventricular dimensions and hypokinesia in the inferolateral wall. Coronary angiography performed for percutaneous coronary intervention showed aneurysmatic dilatation (15-16 mm) and total occlusion of the right coronary artery by a large thrombus. As there was no stent available for dilated right coronary artery and due to the large thrombus burden, medical therapy was decided and tissue plasminogen activator infusion was started. The patient’s chest pain progressively decreased. Coronary angiography performed on the fifth day of admission showed TIMI 3 flow in the right coronary artery. Warfarin was added to standard anti-ischemic treatment with a target INR of 2.5-3.0. Our literature search yielded no reported case of such aneurysmatic dilatation associated with rheumatoid arthritis.

Özet

Özet – Elli iki yaşında, 12 yıldır romatoit artriti olan erkek hasta şiddetli göğüs ağrısı ile başvurdu. Hastanın elektrokardiyografisi akut inferiyor miyokart enfarktüsü ile uyumlu idi. Transtorasik ekokardiyografide, sol ventrikül çapları normalden geniş ve inferolateral duvar hipokinetikti. Primer perkütan girişim için yapılan koroner anjiyografide 15-16 mm genişliğindeki sağ koroner arterde büyük trombüs ile tam tıkanıklık saptandı. Sağ koroner arterin boyutlarına uygun stent temin edilemediğinden ve trombüs yükü fazla olduğundan, medikal tedaviye karar verilerek doku plazminojen aktivatörü infüzyonuna başlandı. Bu tedavi ile hastanın göğüs ağrısı azaldı. Yatışın beşinci gününde yapılan koroner anjiyografide, sağ koroner arterde TIMI 3 akımın sağlanmış olduğu görüldü. Uzun dönem tedavi için standart iskemik kalp hastalığı tedavisine INR düzeyi 2.5-3 olacak şekilde varfarin eklendi. Literatürde, romatoit artrite, hastamızda görülen ölçüde yaygın anevrizmatik genişlemenin eşlik ettiği bir olguya rastlamadık.
