This case report describes the surgical management and complicated postoperative course of a rare postpartum spontaneous left main coronary artery dissection.
Complicated postoperative course after surgical repair of postpartum left main SCAD underscores risks; extends sparse case reports but leaves optimal management open.
We report on a 34-year-old woman who presented with acute anterolateral myocardial infarction 12 weeks postpartum. Cardiac catheterization documented a left main coronary artery dissection with complete occlusion of the left anterior descending artery. The surgical treatment and the complicated postoperative course are discussed here.
