title: Intravascular Stenting in a Female Patient with Spontaneous Coronary Dissection and Von WillebrandÕs Disease.
abstract: We report a case of spontaneous coronary dissection occurring in a 46-year-old women affected by von WillebrandÕs disease presenting with anterior myocardial infarction. The patient was treated with thrombolytic therapy and stent implantation. We believe that in patients with single vessel spontaneous coronary dissection and unstable clinical condition, coronary stenting may provide an alternative treatment in place of coronary surgery.
