Abstract
A 31-year-old man with an acute myocardial infarction underwent intracoronary thrombolysis with streptokinase. Post-thrombolytic angiography revealed no underlying obstructive coronary disease. This particular syndrome of a documented thrombus in a normal vessel causing infarction has not previously been described. Such a sequence may explain the occurrence of myocardial infarction in some patients with normal coronary arteries. The mechanism by which thrombus occurs in an angiographically-normal coronary artery is at present undefined.
