Abstract:
Simultaneous thrombosis of multiple coronary arteries in acute myocardial infarction is very rare in clinical settings. Its mechanism is not yet clear, but patients displaying multivessel simultaneous thrombosis tend to have poor clinical outcomes. Hence, it is important to recognize this condition and provide timely and proper management. We report a case of simultaneous thrombosis involving multiple coronary arteries in a patient with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.
