Conservative Management of Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection

J Invasive Cardiol. 2020 Sep;32(9):E249. doi: 10.25270/jic/19.00490.

Abstract

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is caused by separation of the vessel wall and hematoma development. We demonstrate that SCAD often resolves spontaneously, with an average period of 35 days from the event usually sufficient to demonstrate angiographic healing.

Keywords: angiography; spontaneous coronary artery dissection.
