[Spontaneous postpartum coronary dissection].
We report a case of spontaneous dissection of right coronary artery diagnosed in a 31-year-old woman in the postpartum period, presenting with prolonged angina and ST segment elevation in the ECG, a rare manifestation of this extremely uncommon anatomico-clinic entity. We described the clinical presentation, the findings derived from transthoracic echocardiography and coronary arteriography, and the clinical course with medical therapy.
