Rev Med Liege 2021, 76(2),83-87Abstract : Acute myocardial infarction remains a serious pathology with acute intra-hospital mortality varying from 6-14 % depending on the country. Percutaneous angioplasty is part of the therapeutic arsenal of choice for this type of pathology but it may be complicated by a stroke. We present the case of a 43-year-old woman admitted for STEMI and who develops a sylvian stroke following the percutaneous angioplasty procedure. However, the outcome of this neurological complication was favourable after she could benefit from a percutaneous thrombectomy procedure performed by a team of neuroradiologists.
