Abstract
In 2005, we reported an acute myocardial infarction secondary to a left anterior descending coronary artery injury sustained in a motorcycle accident. The treatment was late myocardial revascularization with in situ left internal thoracic artery-to-left anterior descending coronary artery anastomosis. There is little information available about the natural history of acute myocardial infarction after blunt chest trauma, especially when treated in this manner. This present communication reports the 14-year outcome in our patient.Entities:
