Abstract :
Oral surgery to remove pyogenic granuloma in a high-risk patient is reported. A 47-year-old man with gastroesophageal
reflux disease, diabetes mellitus II, dyslipidemia, and chronic coronary insufficiency (myocardial infarction within 2 years)
with episodes of unstable angina was submitted to an excisional biopsy of hemorrhagic lesion in the lingual right
mandibular gingiva. During dental treatment, the arterial blood pressure, oxygen saturation, heart rate, and
electrocardiogram were monitored. Local anesthesia was performed with 0.45 ml of 3% prilocaine with 0.03 IU/ml
felypressin. The anticoagulant therapy was not interrupted. No local or systemic complications were noticed during or after
the surgery.
