The development of cardiac complications during or after endoscopic procedures is rare. However, mortality from myocardial ischemia, particularly in the elderly population, is elevated. We illustrate the rare case of a 79-year-old man with multiple cardiovascular risk factors who developed a non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) after endoscopic removal of a foreign body. This case report summarizes a rare complication of a low-risk procedure and highlights the importance of considering this potential adverse event, particularly in patients with significant cardiovascular risk factors, to promote early diagnosis and proper treatment.
内镜检查期间或之后心脏并发症的发生较为罕见。然而，心肌缺血导致的死亡率有所升高，尤其是在老年人群体中。我们举例说明了一名79岁男性的罕见病例，该患者有多种心血管危险因素，在内镜下取出异物后发生了非ST段抬高型心肌梗死（NSTEMI）。本病例报告总结了一项低风险操作的罕见并发症，并强调了考虑这一潜在不良事件的重要性，特别是对于有明显心血管危险因素的患者，以促进早期诊断和恰当治疗。
