  • Title: Subocclusion of the left anterior descending artery following blunt chest trauma.
    Author: van Schil P, Amsel BJ, van der Mast M, Walter PJ, Vrints C.
    Journal: Eur Heart J; 1988 Dec; 9(12):1361-2. PubMed ID: 3265917.
    Abstract:
    A 54-year-old man complained of severe angina shortly after a blunt chest trauma and coronary angiography showed an isolated subtotal occlusion of the mid-left anterior descending artery. Bypass grafting was uneventful. Posttraumatic angina or supposed myocardial contusion may be due to coronary injury for which a specific treatment can be given to limit the extent of myocardial necrosis.
