Atrial fibrillation-related acute myocardial infarction and acute mesenteric ischemia

Turk Kardiyol Dern Ars. 2021 Jul;49(5):410-413. doi: 10.5543/tkda.2021.96533.

Abstract

Atrial fibrillation-related synchronous thromboembolism of the mesenteric and coronary arteries is a rare event. This case report is about an 82-year-old male patient who presented to the emergency department with epigastric pain and who was diagnosed with ST-elevated myocardial infarction accompanied with acute mesenteric ischemia. To our knowledge, this is the first report of angiographic evidence of synchronous thrombus in both the arteries.
