title: Myocardial infarction with acute thrombosis of multiple major coronary arteries: a clinical and angiographic observation in four patients.

In all cases the simultaneous involvement of both vessels as the cause of acute ischemia was confirmed by the results of sequential treatment of the lesions with emergency angioplasty.
