Abstract
Acute myocardial infarction in association with the replacement of recombin ant factor VIII in hemophiliacs has not been documented. We describe the us e of PTCA in a hemophiliac A patient who developed acute myocardial infarct ion during factor VIII replacement. Because surgery in hemophiliac A patien ts remains hazardous, PTCA seems to be an attractive alternative. Cathet Ca rdiovasc, Intervent, 50:468-472, 2000, (C) 2000 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
