Abstract

Described herein is a 28-year-old woman who developed acute dissection of the left main, left anterior descending, and left circumflex coronary arteries shortly after delivering a full-term normal infant. The consequence was acute myocardial infarction leading to a severely depressed left ventricular ejection fraction (<10%) and resulting in life-saving orthotopic heart transplantation procedure not previously reported in patients with spontaneous isolated coronary dissection.
