Abstract:
Acute myocardial infarction due to coronary occlusion by emboli originating from the prosthetic valve thrombosis is very rare but fatal disease which needs immediate diagnosis and urgent treatment. We report a case of acute myocardial infarction after left anterior descending embolic occlusion in whom had previous mitral valve replacement. Redo valve replacement following the interventional catheterization and antiplatelet therapy lead to successful results.
