Abstract:
We report the case of a 26 years old woman, who was hospitalized for an acute anterior myocardial infarction, which happened 17 days after delivery. The culprit lesion was a coronary dissection observed on the coronary angiogram which was performed on the 7th day. This dissection cicatrised spontaneously at the control coronarography performed 3 months later. Conventional medical treatment seems to be sufficient, although the use of thrombolysis in our case was safe and successful.
