Abstract
A 76-year-old man with aplastic anemia presented with recurrent acute myocardial infarction (AMI) with heart failure. After the initial appearance of AMI approximately 2 months earlier, he had received conservative treatment/transfusion alone because of severe thrombocytopenia and anemia (platelet 11 × 103/μL, hemoglobin 6.4 g/dL). Refractory heart failure persisted despite repeated conservative treatment/transfusion for the second AMI, and therefore, we performed transradial coronary angiography and left main crossover stenting with a bare metal stent. His critical condition markedly improved; however, soon after discharge, he complicated with subdural hematoma. He has since been free of cardiovascular/hemorrhagic events for 7 months without antiplatelet/anticoagulant therapy.
