Abstract
We present a case of a 76-year-old female who experienced an isolated embolic occlusion of the septal branch, resulting in a septal myocardial infarction (MI) due to a thrombus in the left atrial appendage (LAA). The patient's history included atrial fibrillation (AF), multiple allergies, and a self-discontinued anticoagulation regimen. This case underscores the importance of anticoagulation therapy in AF patients and highlights the challenges of managing patients with complex medical histories and medication intolerances.
