Introduction: Acute coronary syndrome in pediatric patients with graft-versus-host disease is rare. Case Report: We present an 18-year-old male with graft-versus-host disease referred for chest pain, electrocardiogram abnormalities, and troponin leak. Additional risk factors for acute coronary syndrome included chronic steroid use, elevated triglyceride/low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels and cannabis use. A catheterization revealed >90% occlusion of the left coronary artery and he underwent successful percutaneous intervention. Conclusion: Given the overall rarity of acute coronary syndrome in pediatric patients, it may go unrecognized and underappreciated as a significant cause of morbidity in those with graft-versus-host disease. |
