Thrombotic occlusion of the main stem of the left coronary artery in a neonate

Cardiol Young. 1999 Mar;9(2):189-91. doi: 10.1017/s1047951100008428.

Abstract

Thrombotic coronary arterial occlusion, and myocardial infarction, are rare in the newborn. We report such a happening presenting shortly after birth with cardiogenic shock, no left ventricular output and a systemic circulation dependent on flow from a patent arterial duct.
