Myocardial infarction associated with thrombus formation in non-culprit coronary arteries
Tóm tắt
Acute coronary syndromes may be associated with a systemic acute pro-thrombotic condition, possibly involving inflammatory mechanisms as well, which are not confined to a single spot in the coronary circulation. Multivessel coronary thrombosis appears to be an exceptionally rare clinical finding. Here we present a case of anterior MI complicated by thrombi in circumflex and right coronary arteries.
