  ABSTRACT: While interventional cardiology has been developing since 1977 in northern countries, Yaoundé has its first interventional cardiology center and its only interventional cardiologist established in November 2022 at the Yaounde General Hospital. Coronary angioplasty, the gold standard in the treatment of coronary syndromes, is not without formidable acute complications such as stent thrombosis that can be rapidly fatal without an immediate and optimal management. We report a case of acute stent thrombosis in a patient admitted for late presentation of an acute coronary syndrome with persistent ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), whose management was limited by restricted technical resources.
