An aneurysm of the left anterior descending coronary artery with thrombosis in its lumen in a 36-year-old woman who had an acute myocardial infarction is described. Although the aneurysm was detected by angiography, a transesophageal study provided new specific details of the exact site of origin of the aneurysm, as well as vascular thrombosis.
