Myocardial infarction is a rare complication that can occur immediately after a blunt chest trauma. We report a 36-year-old male who experienced a fatal anterolateral myocardial infarction after a nonpenetrating chest injury sustained in a car accident. Injuries of the coronary arteries associated with blunt chest trauma predominantly affect the left anterior descending artery. This is the first case of traumatic complete occlusion of the left main coronary artery (LMCA) demonstrated by coronary angiography.
