Abstract
We encountered an unusual case of acute myocardial infarction due to o bstruction of a coronary aneurysm in a 38-year-old Japanese man. Altho ugh thrombolysis and rescue percutaneous transluminal coronary angiopl asty, performed in the acute phase, did not result in recanalization, serial angiography and intravascular ultrasonography showed spontaneou s recanalization and partial thrombosis within the aneurysmal segment during 3 months.
