Coronary sinus thrombosis as a complication of myocardial infarction-associated ventricular wall rupture: an unusual cause of collapse

Abstract

Coronary sinus thrombosis is a rare phenomenon, most commonly occurring following invasive cardiac procedures. Spontaneous thrombosis is extremely rare and little is known about the natural history or optimal management. We present a case of coronary sinus thrombosis occurring in the context of myocardial infarction with concealed ventricular wall rupture.
