Multiple spontaneous coronary artery dissection associated with Trousseau’s syndrome
Cardiol J 2010;17(6):625-627.
Abstract
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) remains a rare cause of acute coronary
syndrome. SCAD has been observed in three groups of patients: those with coronary atherosclerosis,
women in the peripartum period, and an idiopathic group. SCAD may also be associated
with some other conditions. Herein, we present a 57 year-old man who developed SCAD
concomitant with Trousseau’s syndrome secondary to colon adenocarcinoma. (Cardiol J 2010;
