Two cases of spontaneous coronary artery dissection in young women highlight its variable course, including one associated with aerobic exercise and another treated with intracoronary thrombolysis.
Case Report (n=2)
Highlights rare presentations and management attempts of spontaneous coronary artery dissection in young women.
Spontaneous dissection of the coronary arteries is quite rare. It is usually a catastrophic event with fatal outcome. We report two interesting cases of spontaneous dissection whose presentations exemplify the variable course the disorder may take. The first is the only report to our knowledge associated with aerobic exercise; the second is the only reported attempt at treatment with intracoronary thrombolysis.
Almahmeed et al. (Thu,) conducted a case report in Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (n=2). Intracoronary thrombolysis was evaluated. Two cases of spontaneous coronary artery dissection in young women highlight its variable course, including one associated with aerobic exercise and another treated with intracoronary thrombolysis.
