Simultaneous coronary thrombosis with multisite myocardial infarction and complex malignant arrhythmia: A case report.

INTRODUCTION

Acute myocardial infarction with simultaneous coronary thrombosis has been rarely reported. This combination induces various arrhythmias and is a high-risk factor for cardiogenic shock.

PATIENT CONCERNS: A 65-year-old man presented with sweating and a 3-h abrupt persistent back pain that radiated to the anterior.

DIAGNOSIS: Multisite myocardial infarction, coronary thrombosis with and complex malignant arrhythmia INTERVENTIONS:: Prompt intervention includes cardiac pacing, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), thrombus aspiration and intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP).

OUTCOMES: The patient was successfully rescued after PCI and thrombus aspiration.

CONCLUSIONS

Recognition of dynamic electrocardiographic changes enhances our understanding of the pathogenesis of myocardial infarction.
