A case of thromboembolic left anterior descending artery occlusion following electrical cardioversion for atrial fibrillation is described. A 66-year-old female patient presenting with exertional angina pectoris and atrial fibrillation was subjected to coronary angiography, ventriculography and transesophageal echocardiography. No significant coronary stenoses were found, left ventricular systolic function and regional wall motion were normal, and she had no intracardiac thrombi. Direct-current cardioversion was complicated by asystole which was managed by cardiac massage and 1 mg atropine and 1 mg adrenaline intravenously. Shortly afterwards, the patient regained a normal sinus rhythm. She remained hypotensive and developed ST segment elevation over the chest leads. Angiography was repeated and showed apical ballooning and thromboembolic subtotal occlusion of the proximal LAD, which migrated to the periphery and subsequently disappeared with regain of TIMI 3 flow by the end of angiography. 4 months later, a normal left ventricular global and regional function was seen in echocardiography.
