Özet
pregnancy. Spontaneous coronary artery dissection is the most common cause of myocardial infarction in this period. Although the exact etiology could not be resolved, hemodynamic stress and connective tissue trauma induced by pregnancy are the potential causes. Optimal treatment modalities have not been defined yet in spontaneous coronary artery dissections encountered in the postpartum period. The most suitable way of treatment among medical therapy, surgery and percutaneous intervention should be preferred. Herein, we report a case of non-ST wave elevation myocardial infarction in a 35-year old lady at the second week of her delivery, turned out to be a circumflex artery dissection. The treatment modalities were also discussed in the light of the literature.
