Abstract
Treatment of acute coronary syndrome secondary to septic coronary embolism during valvular endocarditis is controversial. Urgent coronary angiography and stent implantation or surgical intervention have been proposed. We present the case of a patient presented at the emergency department with chest pain and cardiogenic shock. The coronary angiography showed a large filling defect in the left main due to a septic coronary embolism.Entities:
