abstract={A 73 year old female with coronary artery disease presents with chest pain, and diagnosed with inferior STEMI. Coronary angiography revealed patent left coronary system with no new disease. Right coronary artery angiogram revealed extravasation of contrast into the pericardium at the mid portion of the RCA with severe disease thereafter. We present a rare case of spontaneous coronary artery rupture of the RCA presenting as an acute MI. Few such cases have been reported thus far. Management was challenging, and not well defined in literature. Prompt recognition of this entity may contribute to optimal therapy and better outcomes.},
