In this month's Case Study, Satoda et al. describe a patient who presented with an acute myocardial infarction 5 weeks after giving birth. Angiography revealed a severe diffuse lesion of the left anterior descending artery, which was later confirmed to be a spiral dissection. The lesion resolved after two months of medical therapy, and the patient recovered well.
