Surgical Thrombectomy of dual coronary artery thrombosis

Concomitant thrombosis of two coronary arteries is an uncommon condition that is reported to cause sudden cardiac death. In this paper, we describe the case of a 42-year-old man who presented with simultaneous LAD and RCA occlusion causing anterior and inferior myocardial infarctions. PCI was attempted and failed, an Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump (IABP) was inserted and the patient was referred to surgery. Following surgical thrombectomy and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), the patient recovered with no complications.
