Abstract
A 27-year-old man had recurrent myocardial infarction found to be due to coronary embolism to the left main coronary artery with downstream embolization. The presumed etiology of thromboembolism was idiopathic cardiomyopathy. A unique method of treatment with Fogarty catheter retrieval was used.Keywords
