title: [Spontaneous coronary artery dissection: a rare cause of myocardial infarct].
abstract: The case of a 52-year-old female is presented who suffered from myocardial infarction with a prolonged course of symptoms. The angiographic examination revealed a spontaneous dissection of the right coronary artery without evidence for atherosclerotic coronary artery disease. Under medical treatment no further complications occurred. Control angiography showed a spontaneous improvement of the dissection. The characteristic clinical features of this case are compared with the literature data on angiographically visualized spontaneous coronary artery dissections.
