چکیده
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 treated with drug-eluting stents.

Introduction: Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a rare, poorly understood disease (incidence 0.1–1.1%). Management modalities vary and are mostly based on consensus from relatively some study results. Percutaneous intervention (PCI) with conventional drug eluting stents (DES), though acceptable treatment for complicated cases, has a widely variable rate of success (65–90%), hence...

Spontaneous coronary artery pseudoaneurysm (PSA, false aneurysm) is an extremely rare occurrence with the precise incidence unknown. It is defined as an outwardly bulging monolayer or double layer within the coronary artery that lacks all 3 layers (intima, media, and adventitia) of the arterial wall. Coronary PSA commonly occurs from arterial dissection or perforation induced by catheter interv...
