[Traumatic dissection of the circumflex coronary artery complicating a myocardial contusion. A case report].

Myocardial contusion can result in lethal complications as myocardial infarction, tamponade and acute valvular lesions. Following blunt thoracic trauma, the diagnosis is often difficult to make because of the multiple associated injuries. We report the case of a 42-year-old woman who, after a blunt chest trauma, developed a tamponade, an acute transmural myocardial infarction and an acute mitral regurgitation. Coronary arteriography revealed a dissection in the circumflex artery.

[Myocardial infarction associated with stroke revealing a thrombus of the ascending aorta].

Mobile thrombus of the ascending thoracic aorta is an uncommon source of embolism. We report the case of a 40-year-old woman, without coronary risk factors, who was admitted for an acute myocardial infarction associated with stroke. Transesophageal echocardiography showed the presence of a pedunculated highly mobile thrombus attached to the aortic wall near the right coronary ostium. With appropriate anticoagulation, the thrombus resolved after 2 weeks and no recurrence occurred over the next 18 months. Coronary angiography was normal.

[Auricular fibrillation].

There is many progresses in term of comprehension of physiopathologic mechanisms and also therapeutic indications. The increase of treatment modalities need a clear strategy and an adapted choice from pharmacologic, to surgical, external electric shock, prophylactic cardiac stimulation, implantable auricular defibrillation, and ablative methods.
