Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a rare condition that may have a serious outcome because of acute coronary syndrome. The condition especially affects young women. We evaluated a middle-aged male patient with a non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction caused by multivessel SCAD. The SCAD had occurred in the distal right coronary artery (RCA), the mid left anterior descending artery (LAD), and the distal LAD at the same time. His culprit lesion was in the distal RCA, but the SCAD had progressed more proximally within the RCA 12 days later with no clinical symptoms. We treated the mid LAD with implantation of a drug-eluting stent on admission and the SCAD had not progressed 12 days later. Moreover, the SCAD in the distal RCA and distal LAD healed spontaneously 12 days later. He had no recurrent attack, and all SCAD lesions of the RCA and LAD had completely healed 6 months later. Given that SCAD appears in various forms over the clinical course, a strategy of intervention needs careful consideration.
自发性冠状动脉夹层(SCAD)是一种罕见的疾病,由于急性冠状动脉综合征可能会导致严重后果。这种疾病尤其影响年轻女性。我们评估了一名中年男性患者,他因多支血管SCAD导致非ST段抬高型心肌梗死。SCAD同时发生在右冠状动脉(RCA)远端、左前降支(LAD)中段和LAD远端。他的罪犯病变位于RCA远端,但12天后,SCAD在RCA内更向近端进展,且无临床症状。入院时我们对LAD中段植入药物洗脱支架进行治疗,12天后SCAD未进展。此外,12天后RCA远端和LAD远端的SCAD自发愈合。他没有复发,6个月后RCA和LAD的所有SCAD病变完全愈合。鉴于SCAD在临床过程中表现出多种形式,干预策略需要仔细考虑。
