Implication

Possible oral contraceptive link to coronary dissection in young women is hypothesis-generating; does not support practice changes.

Key Points

To explore the relationship between dissecting hematoma of the coronary artery and oral contraceptive use based on histologic evidence.
Case report of a 27-year-old woman
Histologic analysis of vascular changes in relation to oral contraceptives
Identified dissecting hematoma in a young woman using oral contraceptives
Histologic changes observed are similar to those in pregnant women and animal models on oral contraceptives
