| Popis: | A 53-year-old woman underwent a cardiac catheterization for evaluation of acute coronary syndrome. The coronary angiogram revealed evidence of spontaneous coronary artery dissection in multiple coronary arteries including the left anterior descending artery, posterior descending artery, and posterior left ventricular artery. Further diagnostic imaging revealed associated bilateral vertebral artery and renal artery fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD). Follow-up coronary angiogram 6 weeks later revealed a "string of beads" appearance of the posterior descending artery. This case highlights the importance of extra-coronary imaging for FMD and demonstrates angiogram findings suggestive of coronary FMD. |
