Feasibility of Prone Position Coronary Angiography in a Patient With COVID-19 Pneumonia and Refractory Hypoxemia.

ABSTRACT

A 57-year-old woman hospitalized for a COVID-19 (coronavirus disease-2019)-related refractory acute respiratory distress syndrome developed a few days later anteroseptal ST-segment elevation with acute systolic dysfunction. Coronary angiography was performed with the patient in prone (face down) position, owing to the necessity to maintain a reasonable oxygen saturation during the examination.
