Abstract

Patients with inherited hypercoagulopathies such as protein-S deficiency commonly present with venous thrombosis. However, there are rare cases of arterial thrombosis. We describe a rare case of a diffuse left anterior descending and left ventricular thrombus in a young patient with protein-S deficiency complicated with mid cerebral artery occlusion. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).

Keywords: hypercoagulopathy; myocardial infarction; protein-S deficiency; thrombus; tirofiban.
