Mesenteric Ischemia and Myocardial Infarction Associated with Atrial Fibrillation

Abstract EN

Atrial fibrillation is a common disease correlated with embolism incidents.

However, there is lack of report on atrial fibrillation causing myocardial infarction and mesenteric ischemia at the same time.

Our patient is a 69-year-old woman who had undergone thoracic surgery a month before presented to our hospital with newly discovered atrial fibrillation, abdominal pain, and ST-elevated myocardial infarction.

This is a rare case that atrial fibrillation took place one month after surgery and caused embolism incidents in both coronary artery and mesenteric artery.
