Infarctus du myocarde, grossesse et anesthesie

Abstract

Myocardial infarction is rare during pregnancy. We report the case of a 35-year-old woman at 38 weeks gestation who developed a non-Q wave myocardial infarction. She was successfully treated with percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty and stenting. Maternal and fetal outcome were good. We discuss cardiologic and anaesthetic management of labour and delivery. (C) 2000 Editions scientifiques et medicales Elsevier SAS.
