Essential thrombocythemia associated with angina pectoris with unusual coronary artery findings.
A case of ET associated with angina pectoris is presented. Angiography showed a 3.0-cm long mosaic-like thrombus shadow consisting of small filling defects in the proximal left anterior descending artery. The lesion could not be reduced with warfarin, ticlopidine, trapidil, urokinase or melphalan. Coronary artery bypass grafting was performed successfully.
