She was a pro-fessional handball player a few years ago and now occa-sionally plays handball in the Veterans League. 6 days priorto admission after the game, she felt retrosternal pain ex-tending into the epigastrium. The pain reoccurred on thenext day, the dyspepsia was diagnosed, she was hospita-lized in an outpatient clinic, underwent gastroscopy with ne-gative results. ECG was performed on several occasionswhich showed no abnormality detected. On the day of relo-cation, the pain reoccurred starting in the upper abdomenaccompanied with hypotension and ECG changes. We per-formed primary PCI which showed occlusion of high proxi-mal segment of the LAD without thrombus formation. RCAwas dominant with smooth walls with retrograde collateralsto LAD appearing only fragmentary. Acx hypoplastic alsowithout atherosclerotic changes. The guidewire was introdu-ced through the site of occlusion in LAD up to the apex andextensive balloon dilatation with different diameters was per-formed without success and with pronounced “recoil phe-nomenon”
