J Cardiovasc Med (Hagerstown). 2010 Oct;11(10):758-61. doi: 10.2459/JCM.0b013e3283347db9.

Abstract

We report a case of a middle-aged woman presenting with ST elevation myocardial infarction in early puerperium after Caesarean intervention secondary to left main coronary artery thrombosis, likely to be associated with thrombophilic state and concomitant use of oxytocin.
