Here we present a case of coronary artery embolization (CAE), which occurred after left ventriculography (LVG) in a patient with inferior MI. A 62-year-old woman was admitted to our emergency department with typical chest pain ...
متن کاملPrognostic value of exercise testing, coronary angiography and left ventriculography 6--8 weeks after myocardial infarction.

متن کاملLeft main coronary artery spasm--a rare entity as a cause of myocardial infarction in a patient.
UNLABELLED Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains the major cause of mortality and morbidity in the United States despite significant advances for the prevention and treatment of CAD. Coronary artery spasm causing demand-supply mismatch with coronary ischemia can mimic CAD, resulting in unnecessary interventions. Left main coronary artery spasm, in particular, is a rare entity with only a few ca...
متن کاملIsolated hypoplastic circumflex coronary artery: a rare cause of haemorrhagic myocardial infarction in a young athlete
Hypoplastic coronary artery disease is a rare condition that may lead to myocardial infarction and sudden death. Here we describe for the first time an isolated hypoplasia of the left circumflex artery (LCX). An otherwise healthy and athletically active 16-year-old boy was admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. He died 12 hours after the initial event. A...
