Abstract EN
This is a case report of a 61-year-old female presenting with ongoing chest pain in the setting of an NSTEMI with lateral ST-T changes.
On attempting to open the left circumflex (LCX), it resulted in a proximal LCX dissection.
The patient remained stable with no further chest pain.
She was treated with IV Eptifibatide for 48 hours and restudied in 72 hours.
Repeat coronary angiography showed a marginally improved proximal dissection plane with a coronary AV fistula.
She was managed conservatively and discharged with a non-invasive assessment in 8 weeks.
The patient had a negative stress echocardiogram and was managed with maximal medical therapy.
