As for spontaneous dissection, knowledge of a culprit lesion within the distal left anterior descending artery (LAD) causing inferior ST elevation (wrap around of the LAD) is not prevalent. Patient characterist
It was decided to place a temporary pacemaker and to repeat coronary angiography with IVUS, which confirmed the positioning of the guidewire in the true lumen and revealed apparent progression of the LAD dissection to the proximal third of the artery. Given the patient’s hemodynamic and ...
The case described is that of a young, otherwise healthy woman, who presented with an ostial dissection of the left anterior descending (LAD) artery. Due to patient???s stable clinical and hemodynamic parameters, we used a cautious approach based on watchful waiting and medical therapy, ...

Vital signs remained stable and the patient was started on a heparin infusion and remained chest pain free, with troponin I peak of 1.41 ng/ml. Computed tomography coronary angiogram revealed a left dominant system. The LAD artery showed dissection from the mid-to-distal LAD (Figure 1)....
Subsequently, a diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome was made. Coronary angiography revealed spontaneous coronary artery dissection of the left anterior descending (LAD) artery with Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) flow 2 to 3. We managed the patient conservatively. The clinical course was ...
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection is a nonatherosclerotic etiology of acute coronary syndrome, including sudden cardiac death, which frequently affects younger women. This review highlights contemporary knowledge regarding spontaneous coronary artery dissection demographics, prevalence, diagnosis, presentation,...
Her coronary angiography studies revealed a linear dissection involving the distal LAD with TIMI 3 distal flow (Fig1). She was conservatively management and was discharged on 7 post MI day. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/njh.v9i1.8352 Nepalese Heart Journal Vol.9(1) 2012 pp.59-62...

Of the 92 dissections, 48 (52.2%) occurred in the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD), the most common coronary artery territory dissected, followed by the right coronary artery (40.2%). Specifically, the distribution of coronary artery segment dissections is presented in Online Figure...
