We present the case of a 44-year-old female patient with non-ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction treated with left main coronary artery (LMCA) angioplasty with stent implantation. The novel method of coronary artery imaging/virtual histology (IVUS/VH) was used to confirm the presence of thin cap fibroatheroma (TCFA) in LMCA. The procedure was complicated by occlusion of the diagonal branch with embolic material originating from the squized atherosclerotic plaque.
