| Summary points: | At 34 weeks of an uncomplicated pregnancy, a 26-year-old female presents with an acute ST elevation anterior wall myocardial infarction. The case describes findings from clinical, laboratory, and imaging studies, providing several images, and outlines the staged surgical procedure with a cesarean section followed by CABG. The authors discuss spontaneous coronary dissection in cases of pregnancy and demonstrate the utility of coronary artery CT imaging to determine the need for revascularisation procedures. |
