Multimodality Imaging for Assessment of Coronary Embolus

摘要

Caseous mitral annulus calcification involving aortomitral curtain is a rare occurrence. We report a case of a 64-year-old woman with end-stage renal failure and a candidate for renal transplant who presented with late ST-elevation myocardial infarction. Intracoronary imaging, computed tomography cardiac imaging, and histopathology confirmed coronary embolus into the left main stem artery from an extensive caseous mitral annulus calcification.
