Abstract

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection is an infrequent cause of acute coronary syndrome. We present the case of a 29 years old Turkish female, one week postpartum, diagnosed as spontaneous coronary dissection who was treated successfully with coronary artery bypass grafting. We overview the management strategies and treatment options for postpartum spontaneous coronary artery dissection.
