Recurrent Episodes of ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction in a 19-Year-Old Male with Fontan Circulation

Abstract

We describe a case of a 19-year-old male with history of single ventricle physiology status post-Fontan procedure at the age of two who developed thromboembolic phenomena involving his splenic, renal and coronary arteries resulting in multiple infarcts and recurrent in-hospital acute ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) treated by emergent Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI). This case highlights multiple aspects and challenges of managing young patients with congenital heart disease.
