Core Tip

Core Tip: Severe pneumonia complicated with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a critical and rare disease in clinic. Patients with good prognosis after emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) combined with antibiotic treatment have been rarely reported. We here report a case of severe pneumonia and AMI complicated with pericarditis and intestinal obstruction after direct PCI. The patient had a good prognosis after anti-infective and symptomatic treatment.
