Background. ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), is an important cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, and myocardial reperfusion, when adequate, reduces the complications of this entity. The aim of the study was to describe the clinical and treatment characteristics of STEMI in Peru and the relationship of successful reperfusion with in-hospital adverse events. Materials and methods. Prospective, multicenter cohort of STEMI patients attended during 2020 in public hospitals in Peru. We evaluated the clinical, therapeutic characteristics and in-hospital adverse events, also the relationship between successful reperfusion and adverse events. Results. A total of 374 patients were included, 69.5% in Lima and Callao. Fibrinolysis was used in 37% of cases (pharmacoinvasive 26% and alone lysis 11%), primary angioplasty with < 12 hours of evolution in 20%, late ang...

La combinación de regurgitación valvular aórtica, aortitis y estenosis sub aórtica no es frecuente en pacientes con artritis reumatoide. Además, el tratamiento quirúrgico de estas entidades puede ser desafiante y con resultados inadecuados. En este trabajo reportamos el caso de una paciente con regurgitación aórtica severa, raíz aórtica de inaccesible abordaje secundaria a aortitis reumatoide, y estenosis sub aórtica tratada en primera instancia con reemplazo valvular aórtico. Reoperamos a la paciente debido a una falla protésica aguda y se efectuó una reconstrucción valvular aórtica con pericardio bovino siguiendo la técnica de Ozaki con buenos resultados
