Abstract

We report a case of a patient with ST-elevation myocardial infarction with dissection and rupture of the circumflex artery. Echocardiography after coronary angiography revealed a hyperechogenic rounded mass of homogeneous density in left atrium that was confirmed by thoracic contrast-enhanced computed tomography, describing as well compression of the left pulmonary vein. Intramural hematoma diagnosis was confirmed by surgical intervention where extraction of retained blood was carried out.
