Implication

Case report reveals trauma-induced coronary embolism causing STEMI in a young man with a mechanical valve, suggesting crucial diagnostic considerations.

Key Points

To illustrate the rare occurrence of trauma-triggered coronary embolism leading to myocardial infarction in a young patient with a mechanical aortic valve.
Case report of a 24-year-old male with mechanical aortic valve post-trauma
Utilized electrocardiography, transoesophageal echocardiography, and coronary angiography for diagnosis
Administered dual antiplatelet therapy, warfarin, and tirofiban infusion for treatment.
Patient experienced extensive ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) with a large thrombotic occlusion in the LAD artery.
Follow-up imaging confirmed complete thrombus resolution and improved ventricular function after treatment.
Trauma-induced LV mural thrombus was identified as the embolic source for coronary occlusion.
