Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection Involving the Left Main with Extension to Left Anterior Descending Artery and Left Circumflex Artery: Diagnostic and Management Challenges
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection is a rare cause of unstable angina, myocardial infarction, and sudden cardiac death, particularly among young women and individuals without conventional atherosclerotic risk factors. We present the case of a 43-year-old woman who had spontaneous coronary artery...

| Summary: | Spontaneous coronary artery dissection is a rare cause of unstable angina, myocardial infarction, and sudden cardiac death, particularly among young women and individuals without conventional atherosclerotic risk factors. We present the case of a 43-year-old woman who had spontaneous coronary artery dissection involving the left main with extension to left anterior descending artery and left circumflex artery. She was ultimately managed medically, with a good outcome. Spontaneous coronary artery dissection is a unique and intricate condition that demands advanced diagnostic techniques and tailored management strategies. Greater awareness and advancements in imaging technologies have enhanced the detection and understanding of spontaneous coronary artery dissection. However, continued research is crucial to resolving outstanding uncertainties and optimizing patient outcomes. |
