“…[9] It is known that prolonged coronary spasm might cause prolonged coronary flow limitation and induce acute thrombus formation without plaque rupture. [10] ICT can occur either as a result of coronary spasm, or it may cause the development of coronary spasm. Another possible cause for ICT could be the rupture of minor plaques with or without spasm that can only be diagnosed using intravascular ultrasound.…”

A 60-year-old female presented with anterolateral non-ST elevation myocardial infarction and her coronary angiogram revealed severe left system coronary artery disease with a normal right coronary artery. Following coronary angiogram, she developed acute inferior wall and right ventricular ST elevation myocardial infarction with complete atrioventricular block and cardiogenic shock. Repeat coronary angiogram showed large proximal right coronary thrombus causing subtotal occlusion that was successfully aspirated using a guide catheter. The possible causes for intracoronary thrombosis following coronary angiography are discussed here.
