Abstract
Acute myocardial infarction with normal coronary arteries is a relatively infrequent finding. This report describes a rare combination of an embolic event to a normal coronary artery, presumably originating from a left atrial thrombus. An anomalous origin of the infarct-related coronary artery presumably enabled preferential penetration of the clot into the artery. The infarction was further complicated by rupture of the left ventricular free wall.
