Abstract
Two cases of spontaneous left main coronary artery dissectio n are reported. This condition is rare and may present as an urgent surgical dilemma. The presentation, diagnosis, and management of primary left main coronary artery dissection are reviewed. Causative factors and underlying pathology are clarified. Prompt diagnosis and surgical intervention with temporary ventricular support is safe and effective.
