The authors report the case of a patient admitted for short-term acute myocardial infarction with cardiogenic short development. The cause of circulatory failure was concomitant thrombotic occlusion of two coronary arteries, with flow resumed in one already following the insertion of a superthin guide; angiography revealed a normal artery. The possible causes of the condition and the therapeutic options are discussed.
