Resolution of coronary ischemic syndrome due to dislodgement of intraluminal thrombus during diagnostic cardiac catheterization.
Dislodgement of an intraluminal coronary thrombus occurred in a patient with unstable angina during diagnostic cardiac catheterization. The thrombus propagated into the systemic circulation without clinical manifestation of embolism. The procedure rendered the patient asymptomatic. The case illustrates the role of intraluminal coronary thrombus in unstable angina.
