Abstract:
A 57-year-old woman presented with chest pain. Electrocardiography (ECG) revealed an inferior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. Thrombolysis was initiated and repeat ECG showed reduction of ST elevation. The patient reported ongoing pain and developed hypotension. Fluoroscopy of the chest demonstrated gross tracheal deviation and collapse of the left lung. This case highlights the importance of maintaining a broad differential diagnosis and of harnessing the various skills within a multidisciplinary team.
