Abstract
Exercise testing is commonly performed to assess the functional result of c oronary revascularization procedures and is usually not associated with any complications. However, this report documents a rare case of coronary diss ection and thrombosis, which resulted in an acute myocardial infarction, in a patient who underwent stress testing 3 months following successful coron ary stent implantation.
