Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by the presence of thrombocytopenia and mucocutaneous bleeding. It is a rare condition and the occurrence of an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in patients with ITP is even less common. In the present manuscript the authors report a patient with ITP who underwent percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty in the follow-up phase of an AMI.
