文摘

Coronary embolism as a cause of acute myocardial infarction is considered rarer than it actually is because of the difficulties associated with its documentation. Equally rare is the event of a clot embolising to the coronary artery during balloon mitral valvuloplasty (BMV). We had a unique and a rare opportunity to encounter, recognise, document and successfully manage this rare complication during BMV in a pregnant woman.
