Abstract(s)

The authors report the clinical case of a 32 years old woman who suffered a spontaneous dissection of the common trunk, anterior descending, intermediary and circumflex coronary arteries, on the 6th post partum day. The diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction was made, through ECG and enzymatic studies and the patient was transferred to a Coronary Unit. Coronary angiography disclosed those lesions and the patient underwent a triple coronary bypass graft, under extracorporeal circulation. The post operative course was uneventful. Eight months after the operation she was found in good condition, free of symptoms and with a normal pattern of life.
