Abstract
Six cases are described of complete occlusion of sclerotic coronary arteries by intramural arterial hemorrhage without thrombosis. An additional case is presented in which there was a combination of intramural hemorrhage and thrombosis of the left coronary artery. Death was directly attributable to the coronary lesion in all cases although in three there was no myocardial infarction. Attention is called to the probable importance of intramural arterial hemorrhage in the pathogenesis of coronary thrombosis.
