Coronary artery occlusion secondary to graft versus host disease after bone marrow transplant in a 21-year-old
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 17 September 2018
Abstract
Coronary artery disease after bone marrow transplantation is rare in children and young adults. We report the case of a 21-year-old who developed coronary artery disease and acute myocardial infarction secondary to graft versus host disease following bone marrow transplantation. Physicians caring for young patients after bone marrow transplantation should be aware of the potential for coronary artery disease and evaluate appropriately.
