Coronary emboli are rare but devastating events. We present the case of a 31-year-old woman with peripartum cardiomyopathy and mural thrombus. She was admitted with an acute, non-ST elevation myocardial infarction. Two emboli were seen on the coronary angiogram: one in the left anterior descending coronary artery and a second in the left circumflex artery. Each embolus resolved after local infusion of eptifibatide at the time of angiography. There has been 1 report in the English-language medical literature of a similar coronary embolic event in the setting of peripartum cardiomyopathy; however, in that case, only 1 embolus was found. Our case further documents embolic coronary occlusion as a consequence of peripartum cardiomyopathy.
