Abstract
Coronary artery injury after thoracic injury is very rare, but can result in serious acute myocardial infarction (MI). It can be easily mistaken for chest wall pain or cardiac contusion if relying solely on a history and physical examination. We herein report a rare case of a 60-year-old female patient who presented with inferior wall ST-segment elevation MI due to right coronary artery dissection following blunt chest trauma after a traffic accident. Successful primary percutaneous coronary intervention was performed without complications.
