Spontaneous dissection of left anterior descending coronary artery: the diagnostic role of dual-source computed tomography.
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection is usually diagnosed by an urgent coronary angiography. We report a case of spontaneous coronary artery dissection of the left anterior descending coronary artery, which was diagnosed by dual-source computed tomography. Subsequent coronary angiography confirmed the result. Computed tomographic coronary angiography can be a complementary diagnostic tool for the assessment of coronary artery dissection.
