Total of the 89 patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome and angiographic evidence of coronary thrombus, 42% had prior vaccination history. Covishield was the most used vaccine- (76%), while only 24% had Covaxin. Baseline characteristics were similar in both vaccinated (VG) and non-vaccinated group (NVG).

Thrombocytopenia was not noted in any of the vaccinated patients, while 3.8% of non-vaccinated group patients had thrombocytopenia.
