Zusammenfassung: | Upper gastrointestinal (UGI) bleeding after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in ordinary patients is a common complication and poses a dilemma for clinical doctors to treat. In patients with renal impairment, that is more difficult and has rarely been reported. This case report involves an 82-year-old man who received regular hemodialysis and underwent PCI for acute inferior wall ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. On the third day after PCI, the patient developed acute UGI bleeding, and gastroscopy confirmed that he had developed compound gastroduodenal ulcers (active stage) with hyperemia of the surrounding mucosa. After fasting, blood transfusion, acid inhibition, gastric protection and symptomatic support treatment, the patient’s UGI bleeding remained uncontrolled. Finally, upper gastrointestinal bleeding was stopped by empiric transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE). The patient’s condition was controlled through active treatment, and he was eventually discharged from the hospital. Bleeding complications after coronary stenting often present a dilemma, particularly in patients with renal impairment. Therefore, patients such as this should be thoroughly evaluated before any treatment. In the case of no obvious hemorrhagic spots found on endoscopic examination and failure of conservative medical treatment, empiric transcatheter arterial embolization TAE is a well-tolerated and effective treatment for UGI bleeding. |
