Coronary embolism is a rare cause of acute coronary syndrome. We report the challenging case of a 68-year-old female with ST-elevation myocardial infarction caused by right main coronary artery embolism in the setting of bioprosthetic aortic valve and previous episode of atrial fibrillation. The management of coronary embolism depends on the patient clinical setting. In this case, the patient has received an implantable loop recorder before discharge to decide the following therapy.
冠状动脉栓塞是急性冠状动脉综合征的一种罕见病因。我们报告了一例具有挑战性的病例,一名68岁女性,在生物人工主动脉瓣植入及既往房颤发作的情况下,因右冠状动脉主干栓塞导致ST段抬高型心肌梗死。冠状动脉栓塞的治疗取决于患者的临床情况。在此病例中,患者在出院前植入了植入式环路记录器,以确定后续治疗方案。
