Core Tip	Late complications of the left internal mammary artery (LIMA) graft occur rarely. We present the case of a 67-year-old man with an acute myocardial infarction due to the rapid progression of atherosclerotic plaque in the mid shaft of the IMA, culminating in plaque rupture and thromboembolism. This case highlights the importance of consideration of expectant thrombus management as well as the importance of considering late complication of LIMA graft as a cause of acute coronary syndrome.
