Abstract

A 34-year-old man was admitted after an episode of aborted sudden cardiac death. The initial investigation including electrocardiogram, chest x-ray, transthoracic echocardiogram, and biomarkers were normal. Although coronary angiography showed nonsevere stenosis, optical coherence tomography revealed severe obstruction in the artery with a layered appearance of the vessel wall; it was consistent with the presence of mural thrombus.
