Double coronary thrombosis in a patient with Behçet's disease.

Behçet's disease is a chronic relapsing multisystem autoinflammatory condition, in which cardiac involvement is rare, but among the most life-threatening complications. Treatment is largely empirical, and is aimed at suppressing vasculitis. In this role glucocorticoids and colchicine are frequently used. We present the case of a 42-year-old male with previously diagnosed Behçet's disease presenting to our emergency department with an anterior-inferior STEMI. He presented combined thrombosis of the distal anterior descending coronary artery and proximal right coronary artery, and was treated with sequential primary percutaneous coronary interventions and implantation of drug-eluting stents, but required two interventions due to high thrombotic load. His clinical course during hospitalization was good, with no systolic dysfunction at discharge. During follow-up, he has so far had no new cardiovascular events.
