Acute myocardial infarction is a well‐recognized complication of the Hughes syndrome but its optimal treatment is uncertain. We report a case of a 42‐year‐old man with a history of previous arterial and venous thrombosis who presented with an acute myocardial infarction that was successfully treated by primary angioplasty and stenting.
