AB  - It is routinely believed that patients with electrocardiographic findings of ST 
      elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) will have evidence of obstructive 
      coronary artery disease on coronary angiography. Although this is the situation 
      in the majority of STEMI instances, in a small percentage of cases, patients 
      presenting with STEMI are found to have minimal to no coronary artery blockage on 
      subsequent angiography, termed MI with non-obstructive coronary arteries 
      (MINOCA). MINOCA is a heterogenous entity with multiple causes, making a focused 
      diagnostic workup important to select an appropriate treatment, with the goal to 
      prevent a mortality similar to obstructive coronary disease. In this case, we 
      describe a unique presentation of MINOCA, after a patient was diagnosed with 
      STEMI.
