Precordial ST elevation with acute conus branch occlusion.
A 70-year-old man developed anterior precordial ST elevation during coronary angiography in the presence of a normal left coronary artery. Injection of a proximally totally occluded right coronary artery caused occlusion of the conus branch. The electrocardiographic findings are shown, and the pathogenesis is discussed.
