Key result
Review outlines new treatment approaches for coronary artery embolism across three clinical cases.
Why the study?
Coronary artery embolism is an important non-atherosclerotic cause of acute myocardial infarction with diagnostic challenges and no evidence-based management guidelines.
Coronary artery embolism is an important non-atherosclerotic cause of AMI that currently lacks evidence-based management guidelines.
New approaches to coronary embolism merit exploration; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Coronary artery embolism (CAE) takes an important place among non-atherosclerotic causes of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The features of embolic AMI are difficulties in diagnostics and absence of evidence-based guidelines for the management of CAE. Purpose of this review - to present synthesis of available data on embolic AMI. We also report here three cases demonstrating new approaches to treatment of CAE.

Manchurov et al. (2018) conducted a review in Coronary artery embolism causing acute myocardial infarction (n=3). New approaches to treatment was evaluated. This review synthesizes available data on embolic acute myocardial infarction and reports three cases demonstrating new approaches to the treatment of coronary artery embolism.
