Abstract
Background: Myocardial Infarction with Non-Obstructive Coronary Arteries (MINOCA) is a syndrome with different causes, characterized by clinical evidence of myocardial infarction with normal or near-normal coronary arteries on angiography. Case Presentation: Here we describe an interesting case of a 29 year old male known to have bioprosthetic aortic valve replacement who presented with chest pain suggestive of the acute coronary syndrome, with rising troponin levels but having a normal coronary angiography and a cardiac magnetic resonance imaging showing evidence of myocardial infarction thus suggestive of MINOCA. Conclusion: This case illustrates the increasing clinical role of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in modern cardiology and its ability to detect a final diagnosis in patients with MINOCA and also raise the possibility of recurrent embolic phenomena to the epicardial vessels from bioprosthetic valves, which might be challenging to prove.
