The association: anterior infarction of the left ventricle-posterior infarction of the right ventricle, is a rare entity. The authors report the case of a 64 year-old woman, who died on the fifth day of an extended anterior myocardial infarction, present on electrocardiograms; there were however immediate signs of right heart failure unexplained by a pericardial effusion. At the autopsy, the unusual length and distribution of the anterior interventricular artery which was completely obstructed near its origin by a thrombosis occurring on a severe atheromatous and calcified stenosis, explain this association.
