Multiple coronary artery dissections diagnosed in vivo in a pregnant woman
Chest
|July 1, 1993
A 27-year-old, 37-weeks' primigravida survived an acute myocardial infarction. Coronary angiography 25 days after infarction demonstrated multiple dissections in the left coronary artery. She had no vascular risk factors or connective tissue disease. This is a rare case of spontaneous, multiple coronary artery dissections that were diagnosed by coronary angiography.
