Spontaneous coronary artery dissection and associated CT coronary angiographic findings: a case report and review

Nathan Dwyer et al. Heart Lung Circ. 2007 Apr.

Abstract

We report a case of an acute coronary syndrome in a 21-year-old male with invasive coronary angiography and computed tomography (CT) coronary angiography showing a spontaneous dissection of the left anterior descending artery. To our knowledge the CT coronary angiographic appearance of spontaneous coronary artery dissection has been reported only once before. We describe the role CT coronary angiography may have in the evaluation of coronary dissection as well as potential treatment options.
