A 10-year-old dog, which had been treated for mitral insufficiency, died suddenly. Transmural myocardial infarction secondary to thromboembolic occlusion of the subsinuosal interventricular branch of the left circumflex artery was noted in the posterior lower half of the left ventricular wall, involving the interventricular septum and a part of right ventricular wall. The mitral valve leaflets were markedly thickened (valvular endocardiosis). These were a patchy area of jet lesion and several mural thrombi on the left-atrial endocardium. The embolus in the subsinuosal interventricular branch was composed of mostly platelets and fibrin, showing the same histologic features as those of the mural thrombi on the left-atrial endocardium. From these findings, it was concluded that dislodgement of part of the mural thrombi on the left-atrial endocardium caused thromboembolism of the subsinuosal interventricular branch.
