Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection After Pregnancy as First Manifestation of a Vascular Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome
05/31/2017
Alberto Francesco Cereda, MD; Paolo Angelo Canova, MD; Francesco S. Soriano, MD
We report the case of a myocardial infarction in the postpartum period due to a spontaneous coronary artery dissection. Intracoronary imaging (optical coherence tomography) was critical and led us to formulate the right diagnosis.
