A 62-years old man was admitted to emergency department suffering from chest pain. Resting ECG revealed ST elevation on inferior leads and he was diagnosed with acute inferior myocardial infarction. His past medical history revealed that a bare metal stent had been implanted in his circumflex coronary artery upon stable angina pectoris 45 months ago. Immediately performed coronary angiography demonstrated the occlusion of the stent in the circumflex coronary artery. A new bare metal stent was implanted and TIMI 3 flow was established after initial balloon angioplasty. No other causes but vitamin B12 deficiency and hyperhomocysteinemia were found for this non-smoker patient among other laboratory tests.
