Abstract
- An intramural hematoma is a rare, challenging cause of myocardial infarction generally seen in middle-aged females with no atherosclerotic risk factors. Intravascular ultrasound is useful in diagnosing and managing intramural hematomas. Here, we present anintramural hematoma presenting with ST-elevation myocardial infarction without definite intimal dissection in an elderly man who was diagnosed using intravascular ultrasound and managed accordingly.
