We present a rare case of conservatively managed intramyocardial dissecting hematoma (IDH) diagnosed by myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE). The patient was admitted to CCU after emergency percutaneous coronary intervention for acute anterior wall myocardial infarction. Bedside MCE on postoperative day 2 revealed left ventricular apical thrombosis, prompting anticoagulation therapy. Subsequent bedside MCE one week later demonstrated IDH formation, leading to immediate secession of anticoagulants and initiation of blood pressure control. IDH resolution was observed on follow-up imaging after one month. This case highlights MCE as a reliable modality for early diagnosis and therapeutic guidance of IDH in critically ill populations.
