  • Title: A case of septic shock and disseminated intravascular coagulation complicated by acute myocardial infarction following amniocentesis.
    Author: Kim KH, Jeong MH, Chung IJ, Cho JG, Song TB, Park JC, Kang JC.
    Journal: Korean J Intern Med; 2005 Dec; 20(4):325-9. PubMed ID: 16491831.
    Abstract:
    Maternal septic shock and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) following amniocentesis is a relatively rare condition, and its incidence is only 0.03 approximately 0.19%. Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) associated with DIC is also rare. We report here on a 40-year-old female patient who had septic shock and DIC that was complicated by AMI following amniocentesis. The possible mechanism of AMI in this patient may have been coronary artery thrombosis associated with DIC.
