Abstract
Acute myocardial infarction secondary to aortic dissection may occur d ue to compression of the coronary arteries by a hematoma or extension of the dissection into the coronary arterial wall. We report a patient with this condition who was successfully treated by Palmaz-Schatz ste nting, providing an alternative to thrombolysis or angioplasty. (C) 19 95 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
