Cocaine-induced myocardial infarction has been well reported. Likewise, there are numerous reports of patients with cocaine-induced myocardial infarction being treated conservatively with nitroglycerin, verapamil, and thrombolytics. However, based on a Medline search from 1977 to 1998 (with the keywords cocaine and angioplasty), there have been no reports in English of cocaine-induced myocardial infarction being treated with catheter-based intervention. We report such a case, as well as review what is known about the pathophysiology of cocaine-induced coronary arteriopathy and myocardial infarction.
