Abstract

Acute multicoronary occlusion is an extremely rare clinical and angiographic finding. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are extremely important. Herein, we present a 38-year-old man suffering from concomitant anterior and inferior myocardial infarctions due to simultaneous total occlusion of both the left anterior descending and right coronary arteries.

Keywords: angioplasty; myocardial infarction; stent.
