South Med J. 1996 May;89(5):531-3. doi: 10.1097/00007611-199605000-00019.

Abstract

Coronary sinus thrombosis has been reported only as a complication of cardiac transplantation and right heart catheterization in noninfected patients. We report a case of acute coronary sinus thrombosis occurring in the absence of these procedures and resulting in sudden cardiac death.
