Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A 31-year-old female with a history of toxic oil syndrome in childhood, presented with spontaneous left main coronary dissection 4 weeks after an uncomplicated delivery. She had an extensive myocardial infarction, severe left ventricular dysfunction and cardiogenic shock which did not resolve following urgent surgical revascularization. Temporary left ventricular support and heart transplantation were necessary. We analyze the etiology and treatment sequence in what to our knowledge is the first case with these characteristics to be reported. |
