We report a case of a spontaneous dissection of a left internal mammary art
ery grafted on the diagonal branch and the left anterior descendens. The cl

extensive literature search, no such case could be found,This case report m
ust be regarded as the first. We speculate that extensive kinking of the le
ft internal mammary artery contributed in the pathogenesis of this syndrome
.
