Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection in a Pregnant Woman Associated with Fetal Complication: A Case Report and Review of Literature.

Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD) is an important cause of Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS), especially in pregnant women. SCAD has angiographic appearance that might mimic atherosclerotic coronary artery disease (CAD). SCAD in pregnancy can be associated with both maternal and fetal complications. The best management approach of such cases may be achieved by a multi-disciplinary team, including an obstetrician, an interventional cardiologist and a cardiothoracic surgeon. We present a very interesting case of SCAD involving the left anterior descending (LAD) artery with two different angiographic appearances in a pregnant woman which was associated with fetal heart deceleration requiring urgent cesarean section and later coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery.
