  • Title: Spontaneous coronary dissection resulting in acute myocardial infarction: successful treatment with primary angioplasty.
    Author: Stone GW, St Goar FG.
    Journal: Cathet Cardiovasc Diagn; 1996 May; 38(1):62-6. PubMed ID: 8722860.
    Abstract:
    Spontaneous coronary dissection is an unusual cause of acute myocardial infarction for which the optimal therapy has not been established. We report the case of a 63-year-old man with acute lateral wall myocardial infarction resulting from spontaneous dissection of the major diagonal branch of the left anterior descending artery in whom acute and long-term patency was restored by primary PTCA.
