Spontaneous coronary artery dissection in a male patient with haemophilia A: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is characterized by the unexpected formation of an intramural haemorrhage within the wall of an epicardial coronary artery with or without an intimal tear, resulting in an acute coronary syndrome. Haemophilia A and B are inherited X-linked recessive bleeding disorders caused by the absence or dysfunction of clotting factors VIII (FVIII) or IX.

Case summary

A 50-year-old male patient with a history of haemophilia A, type 2 diabetes and smoking presented to our facility with prolonged chest pain. His laboratory results revealed increased myocardial biomarkers and an elevated activated partial thromboplastin time despite the absence of previous bleeding tendencies or coagulation factor replacement therapy.
