A Case of Distal Embolization of Left Ventricular Thrombus due to Blunt Chest Trauma-Induced Coronary Artery Occlusion
نویسندگان
چکیده
Chest trauma can lead to various cardiac complications ranging from simple arrhythmias to myocardial rupture. A variety of injuries to the coronary arteries, including laceration, thrombosis, intimal dissection, arteriovenous fistula and pseudoaneurysm formation following blunt trauma have been rarely reported. We report a very unusual case of distal embolization of left ventricular thrombus due to blunt chest trauma-induced coronary artery occlusion.

Management of acute myocardial infarction after a blunt chest trauma.
Coronary artery dissection is a rare complication after blunt chest trauma. Patients usually present with sudden death and the diagnosis is frequently missed. In this report, we present a case of a 46-year-old with a hyperacute anterior wall myocardial infarction after blunt chest trauma. Diagnostic coronary angiography showed total occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD...
متن کاملLeft ventricular mural thrombus and dual coronary embolization associated with hyperthyroid cardiomyopathy and atrial fibrillation: a case report
BACKGROUND The majority of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) events are caused by thrombotic occlusion of the coronary artery, secondary to atherosclerotic plaque erosion or rupture. However, coronary embolism (CE), while rare, is being increasingly recognized as an important cause of AMI. We present the case of a patient with multi-site coronary artery embolization associated with hyperthyroid...

BACKGROUND Blunt cardiac trauma encompasses a wide range of clinical entities, including myocardial contusion, cardiac rupture, valve avulsion, pericardial injuries, arrhythmia, and even myocardial infarction. Acute myocardial infarction due to coronary artery dissection after blunt chest trauma is rare and may be life threatening. Differential diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction from card...

lied to the proximal and distal thrombosis. Proximal thrombus was treated adequately by aspiration catheter without stent implantation. Distal embolus persisted despite the aspiration catheter application (Fig. 3, Video 2. See corresponding video/movie images at www.anakarder. com). After 48 hours tirofiban infusion, control coronary angiography was performed (Fig. 4, Video 3. See corresponding...
متن کاملEarly occlusion and late stricture of normal coronary arteries following blunt chest trauma.
A 27-year-old man had inferior myocardial infarction following superficial chest trauma. Coronary arteriography documented an isolated total occlusion of the right coronary artery, probably caused by localized extra-coronary compression, and no other evidence of intrinsic coronary disease. The left anterior descending artery later developed a localized proximal stenosis, most likely due to mura...
