RESUMO
Spontaneous subclavian artery dissection is rarely reported. We report the case of a 55-year-old female who presented as an non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and was found to have a proximal left subclavian dissection. We provide an overview of current articles addressing the clinical features and treatments of subclavian dissection. To our knowledge, this is the first report of subclavian dissection presenting as an NSTEMI.

Carotid dissection has rarely been described in pregnancy. We report a 24-year-old woman who developed an acute stroke 14 days postpartum after a complicated pregnancy. Her left internal carotid artery was found to be occluded, presumably secondary to a carotid dissection. Her neurologic symptoms resolved and she was treated with short-term warfarin therapy and blood pressure control.
