Clinical case of successful nephrectomy and stenting of the coronary arteries in acute period of myocardial infarction in a patient with kidney cancer

Abstract

We describe in this case report the clinical situation of development of massive macrohematuria at the background of dual antiplatelet therapy in a patient in the acute period of myocardial infarction with an established diagnosis of kidney cancer and a burdened cardiac anamnesis. Despite the high anesthetic and operational risk of complications, due to the need for coronary angiography with possible stenting of the coronary arteries, left ventricular thrombus and the impossibility of canceling antiplatelet agents and anticoagulants, the patient underwent radical nephrureterectomy, which allowed further stenting of the anterior interventricular artery occlusion and thus to reduce the risk of developing a repeated myocardial infarction.
