RESUMEN
La disección coronaria espontánea es una causa rara de infarto agudo del miocardio y puede debutar además como angina estable o síndrome de falla cardiaca. Se presenta el caso de una mujer de 35 años quien tuvo eventos recurrentes de dolor torácico en el primer mes de posparto y en quien se diagnosticó disección coronaria de la arteria circunfleja, la cual fue intervenida con stents medicados. Veinte meses después permanecía libre de síntomas y sin evidencia de isquemia miocárdica inducible.
