Abstract

Myocardial infarction after blunt chest trauma has been reported in only few cases, and mechanisms of this complication have rarely been described. We report two cases of coronary artery lesions, one parietal hematoma of right coronary artery and one dissection of the left main coronary artery, which resulted in acute myocardial infarction following a blunt chest trauma. In these two cases, cardiac CT and MRI were useful to noninvasively explore these lesions.
