Abstract
Recent evidence suggests that coronary stenting and the use of antiplatelet agents during coronary interventions will improve the outcome of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). We describe the management of AMI in a 30-year-old woman, 38 weeks pregnant, with primary stenting and antiplatelet agents.
