Cardiac Structural Anomalies and Repair

We report on a 34-year-old woman who presented with acute anterolateral myocardial infarction 12 weeks postpartum. Cardiac catheterization documented a left main coronary artery dissection with complete occlusion of the left anterior descending artery. The surgical treatment and the complicated postoperative course are discussed here.
