SummaryMyocardial infarction (MI) in pregnant patients confer additional risks and unique problems related to necessity of concomitant obstetric interventions and coexistence of disorders as hypercoagulability. Therefore, patients usually have a more complicated course which demands prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Here we report a 22 year old pregnant woman with an acute anterior myocardial infarction and the complicated course of the management. Although the patient underwent a successful percutaneous coronary intervention at the first presentation with MI, one week later she suffered a stent thrombosis presumably due to cessation of clopidogrel in order to prevent bleeding before the termination of pregnancy. Later, a detailed examination of the patient has led to diagnosis of antiphospholipid antibody syndrome.
