[Spontaneous multivessel coronary dissection as a cause of acute myocardial infarct--case report]].
The authors describe a case reported in a young female with antecedents of aortic pathology and renovascular hypertension submitted to renal artery surgery admitted to emergency with an extensive acute myocardial infarction, treated with thrombolysis. After coronariography we identify, as etiological factor, a spontaneous coronary dissection involving the descending anterior coronary artery and circumflex coronary artery with no affect on the left main coronary artery. About this case, the authors make a brief review of the literature emphasizing the therapeutic options.
