Özet
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection in the postpartum period is a rare cause of myocardial infarction. Multiparity and twin pregnancies are thought to increase the risk of spontaneous coronary artery dissection due to increased hormonal burden and hemodynamic stress. Although there is no consensus on the optimal treatment currently, conservative management, coronary artery bypass grafting, and percutaneous coronary intervention are used. We present four cases with spontaneous coronary artery dissection in the postpartum period.
