LEFT LATERAL VIEW FOR PCI TREATMENT OF INFERIOR STEMI IN A PATIENT WITH DEXTROCARDIA.

Rapid recognition of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and electrocardiogram interpretation in patients with dextrocardia could be a challenging situation. This case report discusses presentation in a patient with dextrocardia and who was found to have acute inferior myocardial infarction. Percutaneous coronary intervention in cases of dextrocardia can be technically challenging considering coronary origin and orientation, and difficulty in appropriate catheter selection.

Conservative Management of Spontaneous Left Main Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD) Triggered by Emotional Stress in the Late Postpartum Period: Case Report and Pathophysiology.

A spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) during the postpartum period is a serious medical emergency and the most important non-atherosclerotic cause of coronary artery disease (CAD) in this population. While conservative management is recommended in most SCAD scenarios, cases complicated by hemodynamic instability or cardiogenic shock are particularly challenging and might be amenable only with invasive percutaneous or cardiothoracic surgical management. Herein, we present a case of a 35-year-old otherwise healthy woman that suffered an intense emotional stress event and was subsequently admitted with crushing chest pain to the emergency department.
