ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction With Acute Stent Thrombosis as the Initial Presentation of Essential Thrombocythemia

Abstract

This paper presents a patient with acute coronary syndrome and 100% mid-left anterior descending artery occlusion, complicated by acute stent thrombosis. Subsequent work-up revealed essential thrombocythemia. This case highlights the increased risk of acute coronary syndrome and stent thrombosis in essential thrombocythemia, emphasizing the need for multidisciplinary management.
