Abstract EN
The development of cardiac complications during or after endoscopic procedures is rare.
However, mortality from myocardial ischemia, particularly in the elderly population, is elevated.
We illustrate the rare case of a 79-year-old man with multiple cardiovascular risk factors who developed a non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) after endoscopic removal of a foreign body.
This case report summarizes a rare complication of a low-risk procedure and highlights the importance of considering this potential adverse event, particularly in patients with significant cardiovascular risk factors, to promote early diagnosis and proper treatment.
