PCI successfully restores flow in post-transplant spontaneous coronary artery dissection.
Case Report (n=1)
This case report demonstrates the successful use of percutaneous coronary intervention for spontaneous coronary artery dissection in a transplanted heart.
We report the case of a 37-year-old man who presented with shortness of breath 1 year post heart transplantation. He was receiving tacrolimus, methylprednisolone, and mycophenolate. An angiogram showed spontaneous coronary artery dissection involving the left anterior descending artery. Percutaneous coronary intervention was performed successfully, with stent placement and return of flow. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)

Sbitli et al. (2022) conducted a case report in Spontaneous coronary artery dissection post heart transplantation (n=1). Percutaneous coronary intervention with stent placement was evaluated on Successful PCI with return of flow. Percutaneous coronary intervention with stent placement successfully restored flow in a 37-year-old man with spontaneous coronary artery dissection 1 year post heart transplantation.
