Spontaneous renal Artery Dissection revealed by helical CT angiography
European Radiology, 2000Co-Authors: J.f. Paul, J F Blancher, Marc Sapoval, Jacques Blacher, Mona Safar, J.-C. GauxAbstract:Spontaneous renal Artery Dissection is rare and may be misdiagnosed because its clinical presentation is confusing. Diagnosis is usually made by intra-arterial angiography. We report a case where a spontaneous renal Artery Dissection was initially misdiagnosed as a renal abscess. Diagnosis was made later with helical CT for suspicion of renal Artery stenosis in a patient with recent onset of hypertension. This unusual case shows that helical CT can be useful for non-invasive diagnosis of renal Artery Dissection.

Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection and Pregnancy.
Current treatment options in cardiovascular medicine, 2017Co-Authors: Sahar NaderiAbstract:Spontaneous coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD) is a non-atherosclerotic, non-traumatic cause of coronary Artery Dissection. SCAD is the most common cause of myocardial infarction in pregnancy or the postpartum period and results in significant cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in the pregnant population. It is important to consider pregnancy-associated spontaneous coronary Artery Dissection (PASCAD) high on the differential for a pregnant woman who presents with symptoms consistent with acute coronary syndrome. Management of these patients requires a thoughtful, multidisciplinary approach, with consideration of conservative management if possible. Counseling regarding future pregnancies is also critical and requires compassionate care. Given our limited understanding of SCAD, including PASCAD, more data and research are needed to help guide diagnosis, management, and determination of prognosis.

Pregnancy-associated spontaneous coronary Artery Dissection.
American journal of obstetrics and gynecology, 2007Co-Authors: Sorel Goland, Ernst R. Schwarz, Robert J. Siegel, Lawrence S.c. CzerAbstract:Spontaneous coronary Artery Dissection is a rare cause of acute myocardial infarction that occurs particularly in women during the pregnancy and in the postpartum period. We describe a dramatic case of pregnancy-related spontaneous left main coronary Artery Dissection that resulted in acute myocardial infarction with severe left ventricular dysfunction and was complicated by acute heart failure and cardiogenic shock. Urgent revascularization and restoration of myocardial perfusion that were performed in this case resulted in marked left ventricular function recovery and clinical improvement.
