Myocardial infarction associated with thrombus formation in non-culprit coronary arteries

J Thromb Thrombolysis. 2007 Feb;23(1):73-5. doi: 10.1007/s11239-006-9007-6.

Abstract

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.
