JMJosé María Carrera Maciá JMJean‐Christophe Macia PMPascal Motreff

Key Points

Timely percutaneous coronary intervention improved outcomes in a woman with spontaneous coronary artery dissection.
Integration of multimodal imaging and clinical decision-making optimized treatment strategy over six months.
Case highlights the critical role of computed tomography angiography and intracoronary imaging in complex interventions.
Supports the need for multidisciplinary approaches in managing postpartum cardiovascular events.

Abstract

Abstract Case summary: We present the case of a 34-year-old woman who experienced a cataclysmic spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) during the postpartum period. A multidisciplinary strategy was employed, integrating intracoronary imaging and computed tomography angiography to guide clinical decision-making. These modalities enabled a carefully timed, complex percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) performed six months after initial presentation, ultimately leading to a favourable clinical outcome
