Key result
PCI and combined obstetric-cardiac care successfully manage SCAD in early pregnancy allowing normal infant delivery.
Why the study?
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection is a rare cause of acute coronary syndrome in pregnant and peripartum women requiring specialized management.
PCI combined with multidisciplinary obstetric and cardiac care can be a viable management strategy for spontaneous coronary artery dissection during early pregnancy.
May support PCI with multidisciplinary care in early-pregnancy SCAD; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection is a rare cause of acute coronary syndrome in pregnant and peripartum women. This report presents a rare case of spontaneous coronary artery dissection in early pregnancy managed by coronary angioplasty and, combined obstetric and cardiac care, resulting in the delivery of a normal infant through cesarean section.
