Spontaneous coronary artery dissection is a rare cause of acute myocardial infarction. A 37-year-old woman who did not have any cardiovascular risk factor other than oral contraceptive use for 15 years developed acute myocardial infarction without ST-segment elevation. Coronary angiography revealed spontaneous coronary artery dissection involving a long segment (>5 cm) of the left anterior descending coronary artery from proximal to distal. Despite treatment, hemodynamic parameters worsened and left atrial pressure continued to increase. An intra-aortic balloon pump was placed and emergency coronary artery bypass grafting was performed. She was discharged on the seventh day of surgery without any complications.
