Abstract

A 29-year-old woman with two previous births, suffered a non-fatal Q-wave myocardial infarction early in the second trimester of pregnancy. She gave uncomplicated birth to a healthy child 25 weeks later. Post-partum coronary arteriography revealed a 66% stenosis on the left anterior descending coronary artery. The patient was successfully treated with percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty.
