ABSTRACT
A associação entre a doença arterial coronariana e a púrpura trombocitopênica é rara e implica em algumas dificuldades quando a revascularização se faz necessária. Relatamos um caso dessa associação, com importante comprometimento coronariano, tratado percutaneamente com o implante de stent.

Coronary dissection occurs frequently and in several degrees during coronary angioplasty, which is one of the mechanisms for increasing the lumen diameter of a vessel. However the length of the dissection may affect the procedure, becoming the most frequent cause of total occlusion after coronary angioplasty. We report here a case of extensive dissection that occurred during the coronary angioplasty of a focused lesion, which we treated with two long stents.
