Spontaneous dissection of the left anterior descending coronary artery in a male with survival.
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection is a rare event, felt to be caused by intimal disruption and formation of a false lumen in the vessel wall. Compression of the true lumen by intramural hematoma may result in obstruction to blood flow, myocardial ischemia, infarction, and ultimately, death. We report the first instance (to our knowledge) of survival in a man with spontaneous dissection of the left anterior descending coronary artery.
Aortic Dissection↗
Systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve as a manifestation of heart transplant rejection.
A 65-year-old white man with acute cardiac allograft rejection had a diagnosis made on the basis of clinical presentation and endomyocardial biopsy. The echocardiogram showed systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve during the episode of rejection. There was no systolic anterior motion on the echocardiogram that was done either before or after the episode of rejection.
