Primary dissecting aneurysms of the coronary arteries: case report and literature review. 1984

D Mathieu, and D Lardé, and N Vasile

We describe a case of dissecting aneurysm that occurred in a 33-year-old woman suffering from acute myocardial infarction, which was discovered by coronary angiography. Angiographic diagnosis of dissections is rare with only six such cases previously reported. Sixty cases in the literature are reviewed to ascertain the main characteristics of this rare entity. The distinct predominance of this disease among women, particularly post partum, suggests an hormonal influence on its pathogenesis.
