    RationaleAntiphospholipid syndrome (APS) combined with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is rarely reported.Patient ConcernsOne male patient with APS was admitted to our hospital, who had recent unstable angina (UA).DiagnosisThe preliminary diagnosis of ACS and UA (BraunwaldiB) was then made.InterventionsThis patient received secondary preventative therapy for coronary heart disease (CHD) in combination with percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) and implantation of NeoVas Bioresorbable Coronary Scaffold.OutcomesThe patient was followed up, without new UA episodes were observed at 6 months, 1 year, and 2 year after surgery, respectively.LessonsIt was thus concluded that percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is effective for APS patients and NeoVas scaffold implantation is presumed safe.
