Sumario:Spontaneous recanalized coronary thrombi (SRCT), a rare and under-diagnosed entity, are old thrombus formations characterized by multiple communicating channels. We report the case of a 72-year-old female patient who presented with SRCT in the context of polycythemia vera. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is the diagnostic method of choice.
