Zusammenfassung

In der vorliegenden Kasuistik wird über den tödlich verlaufenden Myokardinfarkt eines jungen Mannes berichtet, bei dem eine Thrombose einer ektatischen Koronararterie auftrat. Die histopathologische Untersuchung der Arterie zeigte, dass im proximalen Gefässabschnitt über eine Distanz von zwei Zentimetern ein elastischer Arterientyp vorlag. Diese abnorme Arterienstruktur unterstützt die Hypothese eines kongenitalen Defektes.
