Based on the clinical characteristics of this case, we propose that the possible mechanism of myocardial infarction here included severe pulmonary infection, imbalance between coagulation and fibrinolysis subsequent to lung transplantation, changes in blood flow shear stress, and possible cytokine storms, which in combination led to plaque rupture in the LAD artery. In terms of treating acute myocardial infarction, considering that the patient had recent 2019-nCoV infection and bilateral-lung transplantation, we organized multiple rounds of multi-disciplinary discussions and decided that primary coronary intervention rather than thrombolytic therapy was suitable for the patient. In addition to the patient's underlying severe coronary atherosclerosis, factors such as viral infection, inflammatory cytokine storm, hypoxia, blood loss, and bilateral-lung transplantation may contribute to the pathophysiology of myocardial infarction. ./cache/cord-265082-gjbabh4g.txt ./txt/cord-265082-gjbabh4g.txt
