'''Coronary thrombosis''' is a form of [[thrombosis]] affecting the [[coronary circulation]]. It is associated with [[stenosis]] subsequent to [[clotting]].<ref name="urlThrombosis/Coronary Thrombosis">{{cite web |url=http://www.cts.usc.edu/zglossary-thrombosis.html |title=Thrombosis/Coronary Thrombosis |format= |work= |accessdate=}}</ref> The condition is considered as a type of [[ischaemic heart disease]].
It can lead to a [[myocardial infarction]].<ref>http://library.med.utah.edu/WebPath/ATHHTML/ATH010.html</ref> The terms are sometimes used as synonyms, although this is technically inaccurate as the thrombosis refers to the [[occlusion]], while the infarction refers to the [[necrosis]] due to the consequent loss of [[perfusion]]. The heart contains [[anastomosis|anastomoses]], and depending upon the location of the thrombosis, the infarction may be [[subclinical]].
Coronary thrombosis can be a complication associated with [[drug-eluting stent]]s.<ref name="pmid17325255">{{cite journal |author=Lüscher TF, Steffel J, Eberli FR, ''et al'' |title=Drug-eluting stent and coronary thrombosis: biological mechanisms and clinical implications |journal=Circulation |volume=115 |issue=8 |pages=1051–8 |year=2007 |month=February |pmid=17325255 |doi=10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.106.675934 |url=}}</ref>
