CTICasesAcute Myocardial Infarction and Embolic Clot
Imaging findings
Large left ventricular (LV) clot extending toward the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) and embolic material causing a meniscus cutoff sign in the left anterior descending (LAD) artery.
Key takeaways
Embolic phenomena can occur even in young patients with substance use; documenting clot resolution and assessing infarct size is critical.
