Spontaneous Dissection of Right Coronary Artery Manifested with Acute Myocardial Infarction
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection is a rare cause of acute ischemic coronary events and sudden cardiac death. It usually occurs in young women without traditional risk factors for coronary artery disease during pregnancy or postpartum period. However, it has also been reported in patients with atherosclerotic coronary disease. We present a case of spontaneous right coronary artery dissection in a 48-year male with recent myocardial infarction and previous percutaneous coronary intervention

A type A aortic dissection missed by non-cardiac gated contrast-enhanced computed tomography due to an aortic root dissection flap masquerading as an aortic valve apparatus: a case report
A case of coronary artery fistula visualized by 64-slice multidetector CT.
BACKGROUND: A 27-year-old woman was admitted to hospital with a 1-year history of mild dyspnea.
INVESTIGATIONS: Physical examination, chest radiography, electrocardiography, transthoracic echocardiography, 64-slice multidetector CT and coronary angiography.
DIAGNOSIS: Fistula originating from the left anterior coronary artery and draining into the right ventricle, in conjunction with an aneurysm of the left anterior descending artery.
MANAGEMENT: Surgical closure of the fistula using normothermic cardiopulmonary bypass
