Coronary artery thrombosis developing during angiography. A case report.

G Forssell, H Johnsson, J Laska

    Acta Medica Scandinavica
    |January 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    Coronary thrombosis occurred during a coronary arteriography procedure. Despite a blocked coronary artery, the resulting myocardial infarction was small, suggesting increased blood clotting may have played a role.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Interventional Cardiology
    • Thrombosis Research

    Background:

    • Coronary arteriography is a diagnostic procedure to visualize coronary arteries.
    • Thrombus formation can be a complication during invasive cardiovascular procedures.
    • Myocardial infarction (MI) is typically associated with significant coronary artery obstruction.

    Observation:

    • A rare case of coronary artery thrombosis developing during coronary arteriography is presented.
    • The patient experienced obstruction of a main coronary artery.
    • Despite the major artery blockage, only a minor myocardial infarction was observed.

    Findings:

    • The formation of a coronary thrombus during arteriography was documented.
    • The extent of myocardial damage was disproportionately small relative to the arterial obstruction.
    • Increased blood coagulability is hypothesized as a contributing factor to thrombus development.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the potential for localized thrombus formation during arteriography.
    • Understanding the role of hypercoagulability may inform preventative strategies.
    • Further research into the mechanisms of limited infarct size in acute coronary artery obstruction is warranted.
