Patient: Male, 47Final Diagnosis: Acute myocardial infarctionSymptoms: Chest painMedication: —Clinical Procedure: —Specialty: CardiologyObjective:Unusual clinical courseBackground:Double myocardial infarction involving two culprit major vessels is a rarely reported presentation with high incidence of mortality.Case Report:In this study, we report 47-year-old male patient who had an attack of chest pain associated with ST-segment elevation in the antero-lateral leads. Pharmaco-invasive reperfusion approach was adopted with full dose tissue plasminogen activator, followed by transferring the patient to a specialized heart center for Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI). Coronary angiography showed a fresh thrombus totally occluding Left Anterior Descending (LAD) and another thrombus causing distal total occlusion of a dominant Right Coronary Artery (RCA). Two Bare metal stents were placed in both lesions with Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) 3 flow post dilatation, but the patient, unfortunately, went into Ventricular Fibrillation (VF) followed by asystole and died 35 minutes later.Conclusions:Acute double vessel coronary artery thrombosis is a serious event that requires prompt diagnosis and management to prevent its complications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
