Panels A–C: Initial coronary angiography showed a normal right coronary artery (RCA) (A), a dissection of the left anterior descending artery (LAD) proximal of the first septal branch with occlusion of a diagonal branch (B, C), and only a slight lumen narrowing of the proximal left circumflex artery (LCX) without evidence of a dissection membrane in the LCX (B, C). Panels D–F: Short-term angiographic follow-up after cesarean section showed no change in the RCA (D), but antegrade propagation of the dissection into the mid-LAD with occlusion of several septal branches (E, F) and development of small collaterals from the RCA (D; arrow). In addition, the retrograde spiral dissection through the main stem into the mid-LCX had become worse and resulted in significant lumen narrowing of the LCX (E, F).
