Coronary angiography performed 14 days later because of recurrent angina disclosed dissection of the left main coronary artery. She subsequently underwent aorto coronary bypass surgery uneventfully. Spontaneous coronary artery dissection is a rare entity that mainly affects women in peripartum periods and presents a high mortality rate.
