Primary coronary angioplasty is a reperfusion method increasingly used for the treatment of acute myocardial infarction. Several studies are reviewed, demonstrating a reduction in mortality and morbidity, namely due to recurrent ischaemia and haemorrhagic stroke, in comparison to thrombolysis. This benefit seems larger in high risk patients, such as those with cardiogenic shock, anterior wall infarction, elderl...

This short clinical report presents a case of giant pelvic hematoma with infiltration of the abdominal wall, initially misdiagnosed as incisional hernia by means of the old McBurney laparotomy. The patient, a 56-year-old female, was under chronic coumarin anticoagulation to prevent systemic embolism recurrence (rheumatic polyvalvular disease, atrial fibrillation, and previous brain embolism). On admission, the ...
