Traumatic coronary artery dissection leading to ventricular tachycardia.

ABSTRACT

Traumatic coronary artery dissection is an unusual injury following trauma. It is potentially life threatening and requires prompt recognition on presentation. We present a case report of a 42-year-old male who presented with ventricular tachycardia following a high-speed motorcycle collision that was found to have a coronary artery dissection. The patient had multiple complications, highlighting the importance of early recognition of this disease process.
