Spontaneous coronary artery dissection can cause heart attacks. Emergency bypass surgery with an intra-aortic balloon may be life-saving in select cases.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Vascular Medicine
  • Interventional Cardiology

Background:

  • Coronary artery dissection, spontaneous or iatrogenic, presents significant risks.
  • Myocardial infarction and mortality are known complications.

Observation:

  • A middle-aged woman experienced spontaneous right coronary artery dissection leading to inferior wall myocardial infarction.
  • Left coronary artery dissection occurred during coronary arteriography in the same patient.

Findings:

  • The case highlights the dual occurrence of spontaneous and catheter-induced coronary artery dissection.
  • Successful management strategies are crucial for patient outcomes.

Implications:

  • Emergency aortocoronary bypass surgery is recommended for acute, evolving dissections with favorable anatomy.
