Coronary Artery Aneurysm Thrombosis Causing Acute Myocardial Infarction in an Adolescent With Neurofibromatosis Type 1.

ABSTRACT: Acute myocardial infarction is a rare though possible occurrence in young patients, especially with predisposing conditions, and the treatment is still debated. We present the case of a teenager known to have neurofibromatosis type 1 with acute coronary syndrome caused by coronary aneurysms and thrombotic occlusion of the left circumflex artery treated with a stent-sparing strategy.
