Postpartum Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection: How to Manage?
Abstract
Spontaneous coronary artery
dissection is an infrequent cause of acute coronary syndrome. We present the
case of a 29 years old Turkish female, one week postpartum, diagnosed as
spontaneous coronary dissection who was treated successfully with coronary
artery bypass grafting. We overview the management strategies and treatment
options for postpartum spontaneous coronary artery dissection.
