Demonstrates that spontaneous internal mammary artery graft dissection can be triggered by emotional stress and successfully treated with percutaneous coronary intervention.
Internal mammary artery graft dissection is a rare condition and is usually caused by iatrogenic complications or mechanical stress. We experienced a case of acute myocardial infarction due to spontaneous internal mammary artery graft dissection that was triggered by emotional stress and was successfully treated by percutaneous intervention using drug-eluting stents.
