Abstract

Patient was a 35-year-old male with Testicular germ-cell cancer, (TGCC) with no cardiovascular risk factors.

Ten days after fourth course of Bleomycin, Etoposide and Cisplatin (BEP) therapy, he presented to the emergency department with acute chest pain and significant ST segment depression in anterior leads. Coronary angiogram revealed 95% proximal stenosis of the left anterior descending artery. Patient underwent thrombus aspiration and percutaneous coronary intervention was performed with a drug eluting stent.
