Abstract
Spontaneous dissection of the coronary arteries is quite rare. It is usually a catastrophic event with fatal outcome. We report two interesting cases of spontaneous dissection whose presentations exemplify the variable course the disorder may take. The first is the only report to our knowledge associated with aerobic exercise; the second is the only reported attempt at treatment with intracoronary thrombolysis.Keywords
