A case of left main coronary artery embolus further embolising to the left anterior descending artery.

Smith Giri1, Inyong Hwang1, Shadwan Alsafwah2.   

Abstract

Coronary embolism is an uncommon cause of myocardial infarction. The usual source of a coronary embolus is an intracardiac thrombus or vegetation. Embolisation to the left main coronary artery is an extremely rare event and is usually fatal. We present a case of a 38-year-old woman with embolisation to the left main coronary artery which further embolised distally to the left anterior descending artery leading to a non-ST elevation myocardial infarction. The non-occlusive nature of the left main coronary artery embolus might have led to a favourable prognosis in our patient. 2014 BMJ Publishing Group Ltd.
