| Abstrakt: |
We describe spontaneous coronary arterial dissection (SCAD) in 2 diabetic women, aged 55 and 61 years, with known coronary arterial disease and prior myocardial infarcts. In each, the SCAD caused a fresh myocardial infarct, and balloon angioplasty with stenting successfully restored the true lumen of the dissected artery. Delineating the respective roles of stenting, open operative repair, and conservative management in patients with SCAD is a work in progress. |
