Coronary thrombosis

ICD-10	I24.0
ICD-9	414.8
MeSH	D003328

Coronary thrombosis is a form of thrombosis affecting the coronary circulation. It is associated with stenosis subsequent to clotting.^[1]

It can lead to a myocardial infarction.^[2] The terms are sometimes used as synonyms, but this is not quite correct: the thrombosis refers to the occlusion, and the infarction refers to the necrosis due to the consequent loss of perfusion. The heart contains anastomoses, and depending upon the location of the thrombosis, the infarction may be subclinical.

Coronary thrombosis can be a complication associated with drug-eluting stents.^[3]
