Case Reports[Disseminated coronary occlusions and massive pulmonary embolism in a 40-year-old woman].
A 40-year-old woman was admitted to the emergency room because of severe angina pectoris and dyspnoe at rest. She developed ventricular fibrillation a few minutes later from which she had to be resuscitated . After intubation and controlled ventilation immediate angiocardiography was performed while she was still in cardiogenic shock. Coronary angiography ten days before had been unremarkable. ⋯ This case history suggests that enhanced platelet aggregation associated with sticky platelet syndrome may provoke myocardial infarction even in angiographically normal coronary arteries.
