Left ventricular thrombus formation and cardiac insufficiency were evident on echocardiogram, while multiple acute or subacute cerebral infarctions were visible on brain magnetic resonance imaging. Here, we report a rare case of a 28-year-old female patient who presented with chest tightness and dizziness.

Previous medical interventions included a spectrum of procedures, including catheter-directed thrombectomy for popliteal artery aneurysms with thrombosis, vascular bypass grafting for cerebral-anterior communicating artery aneurysms and arch replacement and stent implantation for aortic dissecting aneurysms.

vs. 30.4%, p =0.07) and device related thrombosis (4.5% vs. 4.5%, p =0.96) on transesophageal echocardiogram did not differ. Both major (1.4% vs. 2.1%, p =0.72) and minor (27.8% vs. 19.4%, p =0.17) in-hospital complications were similar between the combined and control group, respectively.

It is important to recognize that coronary thrombosis is dynamic , with spontaneous opening and lysing of the thrombus in the infarct-related artery (we all have endogenous tPA and plasmin to lyse thrombi). There are those who think that an echo that is done after resolution of ischemia is sensitive for that previous ischemia.

Blunt cardiac injury my result in : 1) Acute myocardial rupture with tamponade 2) Valve rupture (tricuspid, aortic, mitral) 3) Coronary thrombosis or dissection (and thus Acute MI) from direct coronary blunt injury 4) Dysrhythmias of all kinds. She was discharged to home feeling just fine.

Here is the cath report: Echocardiogram: There is severe hypokinesis of entire LV apex and apical segment of all the walls. MINOCA may be due to: coronary spasm, coronary microvascular dysfunction, plaque disruption, spontaneous coronary thrombosis/emboli , and coronary dissection. ng/mL by 4th generation and older assays.)

The commonest causes of MINOCA include: atherosclerotic causes such as plaque rupture or erosion with spontaneous thrombolysis, and non-atherosclerotic causes such as coronary vasospasm (sometimes called variant angina or Prinzmetal's angina), coronary embolism or thrombosis, possibly microvascular dysfunction.
