Background: Esophageal ultrasound with bronchoscope fine needle aspiration (EUS-B-FNA) is a valuable tool for the diagnosis and staging of lung cancer, complementing endobronchial lung ultrasound (EBUS). While generally considered safe, there is a notable lack of comprehensive knowledge within the interventional pulmonology community regarding potential complications.
Case Presentation: We present a case involving a 66-year-old male with squamous cell lung carcinoma undergoing mediastinal staging.
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is an uncommon but important cause of acute coronary syndrome (ACS), particularly in postpartum women without traditional cardiac risk factors. Our case involves a 29-year-old postpartum woman who presented with severe substernal chest pain eight days after an emergency cesarean section for pregnancy-associated hypertension. Electrocardiography showed ST elevation in the inferior and posterior leads, and coronary angiography revealed a spontaneous dissection in the left circumflex artery (LCx) with an intramural hematoma, alongside a dissection of the right coronary artery (RCA) extending from the ostium to the mid-vessel.

Pregnancy-associated spontaneous coronary artery dissection (P-SCAD) poses a rare yet critical concern among postpartum individuals, increasingly recognized as a significant trigger for acute myocardial infarction. Timely identification, accurate diagnosis, and prompt treatment are paramount for clinicians confronted with this condition. Patients with P-SCAD commonly manifest signs and symptoms akin to acute coronary syndrome but have different etiology and treatment.
