Perioperative myocardial infarction is a complication of cardiac surgery, and the cause can be multifactorial. Injury of the left circumflex coronary artery has been described, particularly after mitral valve replacement. We present the case of a 72-year-old woman who underwent mitral valve replacement but developed a lesion in the proximal circumflex coronary artery related to partial mechanical kinking caused by a suture. The therapeutic options are surgical or percutaneous. In this patient, the percutaneous strategy was successful. Learning objective: ⢠Percutaneous coronary intervention is an option in cases involving kinking of the left circumflex coronary artery after mitral valve replacement.⢠If unable to cross the lesion with a workhorse guide wire, one alternative is to use wires with good support properties and avoid very high tip loads to reduce the risk of perforation.In patients at high risk of bleeding, use of a drug-eluting stent and short-duration dual antiplatelet therapy is recommended.
