Surgical history?:Clare Sage is a 47-year-old African American female who presented to the emergency room (ER) at 0900 on April 1 with a complaint of 7/10 retrosternal chest pain. A 12-lead electrocardiogram (EKG) showed an anterior wall myocardial infarction (MI) with elevated T waves in leads V2 through V6. Clare was taken to the catherization laboratory (cath lab) and found to have a blockage in her left anterior descending (LAD) artery. A percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) was performed, and a bare metal stent was placed. Clare had a run of ventricular tachycardia (VT) during the procedure and was given a bolus of amiodarone (Cordarone) and started on an amiodarone (Cordarone) drip. In the cath lab recovery room, Clare’s heparin drip was discontinued, and her arterial sheaths were removed. A pressure dressing was applied to the right groin after hemostasis was achieved. Clare developed a right groin hematoma within an hour of sheath removal, so manual pressure was applied, and hemostasis was achieved. Clare was taken to the progressive care unit (PCU) where she was monitored and discharged at 1800 the next day.
