Multi-vessel coronary artery dissection in a patient with congenital aortopathy

Abstract

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a well-documented cause of acute coronary syndrome and could have life-threatening consequences. We report the case of young female with a prior history of cardiac surgery due to congenital aortic stenosis presenting with multi-vessel SCAD. She was successfully managed with medical treatment.
