Description
Sang Min Park and co-authors describe heart treatment in a 55-year-old man who had both hemophilia A and a heart attack. Hemophilia makes the blood thinners and anti-clotting drugs of standard heart care risky. The man first came in with chest pain after an overdose of clotting factor. Scans showed a narrowed right heart artery, and medicines calmed the pain at first.
Twenty days later he returned with crushing pain and signs of a heart attack. Doctors opened the blocked artery through his wrist and placed a bare metal stent. He then took two anti-clotting drugs for six months while keeping his usual clotting factor doses. After that, one drug alone carried him five years with no new heart events, until pancreatic cancer took his life. The team reads the case as proof that standard heart intervention can work in hemophilia with careful management.
