Coronary artery embolism (CAE) takes an important place among non-atherosclerotic causes of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The features of embolic AMI are difficulties in diagnostics and absence of evidence-based guidelines for the management of CAE. Purpose of this review - to present synthesis of available data on embolic AMI. We also report here three cases demonstrating new approaches to treatment of CAE.
