Abstract

We present a case of acute myocardial infarction located anteriorly in a healthy young man who suffered a blunt chest trauma following a motor vehicle accident, with coronarographic evidence of intimal dissection of the left anterior descending artery and evolution to ventricular aneurysm. We comment on the rare incidence of this entity and the mechanism involved in this case, a coronary contusion with subsequent intimal dissection.
