Spontaneous coronary artery dissection in a young man with anterior myocardial infarction
Cathet Cardiovasc Diagn.
1991 Nov.
Abstract
A case of spontaneous coronary artery dissection in a young male with subsequent myocardial infarction is reported. In addition, distal vessel occlusion is noted, presumably from embolization of thrombotic material originating from the site of dissection. Postulated mechanisms of this uncommon cause of myocardial infarction and subsequent therapeutic options are reviewed.
