Acute inferior ST segment elevation myocardial infarction due to chemotherapy in a young man with testicular cancer

Testis kanseri 15-29 yaş arasındaki erkeklerde en sık karşılaşılan kanserdir. Testis kanserinin tedavisinde sisplatin, etoposid ve bleomisin kombinasyonu ana tedavi rejimidir. Akut miyokard infarktüsü bu kemotörapotiklerin nadir bir komplikasyonudur. Bu yazıda bleomisin verilmesinden sonra akut inferior ST-segment elevasyonlu miyokard infarktüsü gelişen, koroner arter hastalığı için risk faktörü bulunmayan ve infarktüsün kemoterapiye bağlı olduğu düşünülen 36 yaşında erkek hasta sunulmuştur.

Testis kanserli hastada kemoterapiye bağlı gelişen akut inferior ST segment elevasyonlu miyokard infarktüsü

Testicular cancer is the most common malignancy in men between 15 and 29 years of age. cisplatin, etoposide and bleomycin combination chemotherapy remains the mainstay of testicular cancer treatment. Acute myocardial infarction is a rare complication of these chemotherapeutics. In this case report, we present a case of 36-year-old male with acute inferior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction after bleomycin injection. Because thepatient had no significant risk factors for coronary artery disease,the infarction was likely caused by the chemotherapy regimen.
