Successful stenting with optical frequency domain imaging guidance for spontaneous coronary artery dissection.
A 51-year-old woman was urgently admitted because of chest pain. Emergent coronary angiography revealed diffuse stenosis from the proximal to distal portion of the right coronary artery (RCA) with Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) flow grade 2 (Figure 1). No stenosis was seen in the left coronary artery. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) images revealed an intracoronary hematoma from t...
متن کاملSpontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection as a Cause of Acute Myocardial Infarction in Young Female Population: A Single-center Study
BACKGROUND Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a nonatherosclerotic but a rare and extremely dangerous clinical entity, it has a high prevalence in young female population with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The previous reports were restricted to other countries' population, but rare in China. Hence, this study aimed to focus on the characteristics of SCAD as a cause of young ...
متن کاملSpontaneous coronary artery dissection-A review.
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is an infrequent and often missed diagnosis among patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Unfortunately, SCAD can result in significant morbidities such as myocardial ischemia and infarction, ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. Lack of angiographic recognition from clinicians is a major factor of under-diagnosis. With t...
متن کاملRapid Spontaneous Coronary Artery Reperfusion Following Severe Bradycardia During Exercise Tolerance Test: A Rare Case Report
The acute occlusion of a coronary artery without the evidence of myocardial infarction might immediately affect both the diagnosis and treatment of coronary artery disease. We present the case with a sudden occlusion of the left main coronary artery without typical chest pain following an exercise tolerance test and rapid spontaneous reperfusion of the left main coronary artery.
متن کاملSpontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection.
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a non-traumatic and non-iatrogenic separation of the coronary artery wall that is now recognised as an important cause of myocardial infarction, especially in younger women. SCAD can be elusive on coronary angiography and clinician familiarity with non-pathognomonic angiographic SCAD variants and the use of intracoronary imaging will improve diag...
