Abstract
Chest trauma can lead to various cardiac complications ranging from arrythmia to myocardial rupture. Coronary artery injury in patients with blunt chest trauma is rare, and traumatic aneurysm of the left coronary artery is even more unusual than right coronary artery. Injury to the coronary arteries, including intimal aneurysm, dissection, laceration, arteriovenous fistula and thrombosis, are sequelae that rarely occur after a blunt trauma. Occlusion of the coronary artery results is a serious complication for the patient via acute myocardial infarction, We report here on a case of acute myocardial infarction with coronary artery aneurysm that arose from blunt chest trauma in a 33-year-old male, and he was successfully managed by a coronary bypass graft without performing cardiopulmonary bypass.
