Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection and Implantation of Absorb Bioresorbable Drug-Eluting Stent in Cocaine-Related Acute Coronary Syndrome
نویسندگان
چکیده
The spontaneous dissection of the coronary arteries (SCAD) is rare and few data are available in the worldwide literature. Several diseases and conditions have been associated with SCAD, such as atherosclerosis, connective tissue disorders and the peripartum episode. Cocaine addiction is one of causes of the disease in young patients. In this paper we present a case report of a patient with a acute coronary syndrome who had a history of recent cocaine abuse. The coronary angiography showed spasm and spontaneous dissection of the left anterior descending artery with a slow coronary flow. Based on the clinical and angiographic characteristics of the patient, we decided to perform a coronary angioplasty with bioresorbable vascular scaffold stent placement.

Treatment of coronary bifurcation lesions is common in everyday practice and accounts for ≤20% of all percutaneous coronary interventions. The treatment of these lesions with drug-eluting stents, especially when a double-stent technique is used, remains challenging and is associated with a lower procedural success and a higher rate of long-term adverse cardiac events such as stent restenosis an...

In the era of drug-eluting stents, large-scale randomized trials and all-comer registries have shown excellent clinical results. However, even the latest-generation drug-eluting stent has not managed to address all the limitations of permanent metallic coronary stents, such as the risks of target lesion revascularization, neoatherosclerosis, preclusion of late lumen enlargement, and the lack of...

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection SCAD is a rare condition which may result in sudden coronary occlusion, acute myocardial infarction and sudden cardiac death. The prognosis of spontaneous coronary artery dissection is uncertain and optimal treatment is unknown. We describe a case of SCAD in a 29-year-old male with acute inferior wall myocardial infarction MI and post-MI angina that was tr...
