Giant Coronary Sinus Complicated by Spontaneous Thrombosis

Spontaneous coronary sinus thrombosis (CST) is an extremely rare occurrence. Most cases are iatrogenic and related to right heart instrumentation, due to either central line placement or electrophysiology procedures such as pacemaker insertion that causes direct damage to the endothelial lining. The course can be insidious and may result in a fatal outcome. Diagnosis of CST is challenging, and the syndrome often goes unrecognized. However, in the current era of multimodality imaging, it is possible that this condition will be recognized in more patients. Herein, we present a patient with spontaneous coronary sinus thrombosis that was diagnosed using multimodality imaging and thereafter successfully managed.
