| Abstract: | Coronary manifestations of polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) are rarely identified pre-mortem. We report a 51-year-old female with PAN causing a coronary dissection and new lesions developing over the next 5 days. PAN should be added to the list of differential diagnoses for spontaneous coronary dissections. Cathet. Cardiovasc. Diagn. 44:320–324, 1998. © 1998 Wiley-Liss, Inc. |
