Abstract
Despite being rare, traumatic coronary artery dissection after blunt chest trauma can lead to life-threatening consequences that can be fatal. This case report focuses on a 51-year-old woman who suffered chest trauma at home and was later found to have right coronary artery dissection. This manuscript aims to elucidate the risk factors, diagnostic challenges, and management strategies associated with traumatic coronary artery dissection. This case report emphasizes the evaluation of risk factors, the significance of early detection with appropriate imaging modalities while maintaining high clinical suspicion, and the critical necessity of optimizing patient outcomes in such circumstances.
