[Percutaneous coronary intervention in the management of acute coronary syndromes in Senegal : Challenges and results].

Introduction: Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remains a major therapeutic tool in the management of acute coronary syndromes (ACS). However, it is not widely practiced in sub-Saharan Africa, particularly for the management of ACS. The availability of a catheterization laboratory for 24-hour management of ACS in Dakar is an important step in improving the prognosis of patients.

Sudden Cardiac Death Following Thrombolysis in a Young Woman with Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection: A Case Report.

BACKGROUND Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a well-known cause of acute coronary syndrome. ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is the most common presentation of SCAD, which can be complicated by sudden cardiac death (SCD). Conservative management is the cornerstone of treatment except in case of ongoing ischemia or large myocardial compromise.

Spontaneous coronary artery wall haematoma: success of conservative management despite alarming extension: a case report.

Background: Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a particular mode of presentation of acute coronary syndrome. It preferentially affects the young woman with little or no classical risk factor for atheromatous disease.

Case Summary: In this report, we present a classical non-ST-segment myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) condition in link with a spontaneous coronary artery wall haematoma.
