Acute double coronary occlusion and its misleading presentation: An unusual case report.

Acute simultaneous double coronary occlusion is an extremely rare condition with an unspecific presentation. We report a case of a 57-year-old male, with undiagnosed diabetes mellitus, presenting with acute epigastralgia and vomiting associated with dynamic electrocardiographic changes. He was hemodynamically stable. Emergency coronary angiogram showed a total occlusion of both proximal left circumflex and mid left anterior descending coronary artery. Since the EKG indicated minimal ST-segment elevation in the lateral leads as well as an ST depression in the inferior leads, we performed a percutaneous coronary intervention of both the LCx and LAD, using a floppy guidewire. Similar cases of multiple simultaneous coronary occlusions are reported in literature, yet the accurate incidence and physiopathology of this occurrence is still uncertain. Although this condition is associated with serious complications, our case evolved favorably due to prompt management.
