A Challenging Case of Extensive Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection. uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • The detection of spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) causing myocardial infarction is integral in pursuing the appropriate management. Our case posed a diagnostic challenge, with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy and coronary embolism among the potential differential diagnoses upon the initial presentation. Extensive propagation of spontaneous coronary artery dissection subsequently resulted in a significant challenge to management requiring surgical revascularization. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).
