摘要
Coronary embolism is a rare cause of acute coronary syndrome. We report the challenging case of a 68-year-old female with ST-elevation myocardial infarction caused by right main coronary artery embolism in the setting of bioprosthetic aortic valve and previous episode of atrial fibrillation. The management of coronary embolism depends on the patient clinical setting. In this case, the patient has received an implantable loop recorder before discharge to decide the following therapy.
