Spontaneous coronary artery dissection is a rare cause of myocardial infarction that must always be considered on a clinician's differential diagnosis, particularly in patients <50-years old with a paucity of typical vascular risk factors.
We describe a case of a 33-year-old white woman, 3 weeks postpartum, presenting with retrosternal chest and back pain, neck pain and stiffness, and intermittent headaches. Subsequent workup revealed concurrent spontaneous dissections in three separate medium-sized arterial beds.
She was successfully managed in a conservative fashion, highlighting that percutaneous or surgical revascularization can often be foregone in favor of conservative medical therapy.
自发性冠状动脉夹层是心肌梗死的一种罕见病因,临床医生在鉴别诊断时必须始终予以考虑,尤其是对于年龄小于50岁且典型血管危险因素较少的患者。
我们描述了一例33岁的白人女性病例,产后3周,出现胸骨后胸痛、背痛、颈部疼痛和僵硬以及间歇性头痛。随后的检查发现三个不同的中等大小动脉床同时发生自发性夹层。
她通过保守治疗成功治愈,这突出表明在很多情况下可以放弃经皮或手术血运重建,而选择保守药物治疗。
