TCTAP C-013 Primary PCI in Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection with Cardiogenic Shock: What to Do When You are Forced to Intervene!

Predicting What Will Happen When You Intervene

This paper offers some rules of thumb that practicing social workers can use for case studies that aim to construct, albeit not fully and never entirely reliably, models designed to help predict what will happen if they intervene in specific ways to help this particular client, here and now. We call these 'ex ante case-specific causal models'. 'Ex ante' because they are for before-the-fact pred...

A Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection Case Noticed during a Primary PCI

Spontaneous coronary dissections (SCAD) can be asymptomatic or can manifest itself as any of the clinical spectrum of the ischemic heart disease. In this report, we present a 65 year old man presented with myocardial infarction in whom coronary angiography a nonocclusive SCAD was noticed in addition to a very late stent thrombosis and make a brief overview of the treatment for SCAD.

To What Extent Vital Signs Are Important to Medical Toxicologists When Conflicts Arise in Defining Toxidroms

Spontaneous left main coronary artery dissection treated with primary stenting.

Spontaneous left main coronary artery (LMCA) dissection is an unusual cause of myocardial ischemia and sudden death. It is defined as an intramural hematoma of the media of the vessel wall. A 56-year-old male who underwent a two-vessel bypass ten years previous presented with chest pain for two hours. His blood pressure and heart rate were 60/35 mmHg and 120 beats per minute, respectively. The ...

Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection.

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a non-traumatic and non-iatrogenic separation of the coronary artery wall that is now recognised as an important cause of myocardial infarction, especially in younger women. SCAD can be elusive on coronary angiography and clinician familiarity with non-pathognomonic angiographic SCAD variants and the use of intracoronary imaging will improve diag...
