| Abstract | A winking coronary sign refers to the partial collapse of an artery situated over the ventricular septal rupture during systole and refilling of the same during diastole, which is seen as phasic filling and disappearance of the arterial segment during coronary angiography. In this article, we discuss the case of a patient who reported to the emergency department of a tertiary care hospital in central India with myocardial infarction of the anterior wall. Two-dimensional echocardiography and coronary angiography revealed ventricular septal rupture. The patient was promptly managed by a percutaneous coronary angiography and interventricular septal device closure. Even after the defect closure, the winking coronary sign persisted on coronary angiography, and the patient was then discharged in stable condition. |
