AB  - Blunt trauma to the chest resulting in coronary thrombosis and ST elevation 
      myocardial infarction (STEMI) is a rare but well-described occurrence in adults. 
      Angiography in such cases has generally disclosed complete epicardial coronary 
      occlusion with thrombus, indistinguishable from the findings commonly found in 
      spontaneous plaque rupture due to atherosclerotic disease. In all previously 
      reported cases in which coronary interrogation with intravascular ultrasound 
      (IVUS) was performed in association with acute revascularization, coronary artery 
      dissection was implicated as the etiology of coronary thrombosis. We present the 
      first case report of blunt trauma-associated coronary thrombosis without 
      underlying atherosclerosis or coronary dissection, as documented by IVUS imaging.
