Life threatening haemorrhage from a mycotic renal pseudoaneurysm treated by segmental renal artery embolisation.

chest pain, with definite myocardial infarction on the second occasion, occurred one hour after he had injected amphetamine. He had taken amphetamine intravenously on other occasions without chest pain, but this may reflect the varying strength of amphetamine available on the streets or variation in the coronary vascular response to noradrenaline release induced by amphetamine. Nevertheless, the association between amphetamine and myocardial infarction in our patient is unlikely to be coincidental.
