Abstract

Aims: Spontaneous coronary artery dissection is a random rupture of the coronary artery wall, which may lead
to ischemia of the heart tissue. 30% of the cases are male patients. The aim of this article is to report a patient with
spontaneous coronary artery dissection, raise awareness and extend the literature.

Case Report: A 43-year-old male patient was presented to Trakya University Hospital with a complaint of persistent
chest pain. The patient underwent coronary angiography, revealing spontaneous coronary artery dissection in
the left anterior descending artery and circumflex artery.

Conclusion: In this case report, we demonstrated the diagnosis of spontaneous coronary artery dissection with
coronary angiography. Our patient had the most common dissection, left anterior descending artery, right coronary
artery and left main coronary artery. Only medical therapy could be started for the patient due to his voluntary discharge.
