Key result
Primary PTCA successfully restored acute and long-term patency in a patient with acute myocardial infarction resulting from spontaneous coronary dissection.
Why the study?
Does primary PTCA restore patency in a patient with acute myocardial infarction resulting from spontaneous coronary dissection?
Does primary PTCA restore patency in a patient with acute myocardial infarction resulting from spontaneous coronary dissection?
Primary PTCA can be a successful treatment strategy for restoring acute and long-term vessel patency in patients presenting with acute myocardial infarction due to spontaneous coronary dissection.
May support feasibility in rare spontaneous dissection AMI; leaves open need for prospective data before practice change.
Spontaneous coronary dissection is an unusual cause of acute myocardial infarction for which the optimal therapy has not been established. We report the case of a 63-year-old man with acute lateral wall myocardial infarction resulting from spontaneous dissection of the major diagonal branch of the left anterior descending artery in whom acute and long-term patency was restored by primary PTCA.
