摘要：

Coronary embolism is an uncommon cause of acute coronary syndromes and there is no standard recommended therapeutic algorithm for this rare entity. Herein, we present a 69-years old female patient diagnosed with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction due to coronary embolism secondary to paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Considering the clinical characteristics of the patient and also no evidence of atherosclerotic basis for the lesion on the coronary angiogram, thrombus aspiration was decided to be the optimal treatment for this case. She underwent a successful thrombus aspiration procedure and followed by long-term oral anticoagulant therapy with warfarin. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
