    Author: Thistlethwaite PA, Tarazi RY, Giordano FJ, Jamieson SW.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 1998 Jul; 66(1):258-60. PubMed ID: 9692481.
    Abstract:
    Two cases of spontaneous left main coronary artery dissection are reported. This condition is rare and may present as an urgent surgical dilemma. The presentation, diagnosis, and management of primary left main coronary artery dissection are reviewed. Causative factors and underlying pathology are clarified. Prompt diagnosis and surgical intervention with temporary ventricular support is safe and effective.
