Angina pectoris (AP), a clinical syndrome characterized by paroxysmal chest pain, is caused by insufficient blood supply to the coronary arteries and sudden temporary myocardial ischemia and hypoxia. Long-term AP typically induces other cardiovascular events, including myocardial infarction and heart failure, posing a serious threat to patient safety. However, AP's complex pathological mechanisms and developmental processes introduce significant challenges in the rapid diagnosis and accurate treatment of its different subtypes, including stable angina pectoris (SAP), unstable angina pectoris (UAP), and variant angina pectoris (VAP).

Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is one of the most common leading global causes of mortality, encompassing ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), and unstable angina (UA). Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has become a pivotal therapeutic approach for ACS, underscoring the importance of anticoagulation strategies. Among the commonly employed anticoagulants in PCI, heparin and bivalirudin take precedence, with heparin serving as the archetypal choice.

Left ventricular (LV) thrombus is a serious complication of myocardial infarction (MI) that can lead to a fetal systemic embolism. Although coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) after MI is widely performed, to our knowledge, there are no reports of LV thrombus in the early postoperative period. Here, we report a rare case of a 70-year-old man who underwent off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) for unstable angina pectoris with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF).
