A case of sudden death due to spontaneous right subclavian artery dissection

Abstract

Acute subclavian artery dissection (SAD) is a rare entity which is usually associated with several vascular abnormalities and traumatic events. Spontaneous SAD remains exceptional and often affects the left artery. We report the autopsy case of a 29-year-old female who died suddenly following a spontaneous dissection of the right subclavian artery.
