Abstract
A 71 year old male patient who experienced acute myocardial infarction (AMI) 4 years ago and had a history of polycythemia vera and thrombocythemia was admitted because acute attack of chronic heart failure. Coronary angiography revealed an unusual filling defect in the middle segment of the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery and IVUS showed it is a HLS which is different from dissection or woven coronary artery. We review the recent literature of HLS in this article and further investigations are warranted for the optimal management of HLS.
