Prevention - Coronary artery dissection Not supplied. Diagnosis - Coronary artery dissection SCAD's have been known to occur during exercise and at rest. SCAD's are usually diagnosed by angiogram and stenting may be necessary to re-open the artery. [checkorphan.org]

We also covered the entire lesion with coronary stents, including the hematoma, so as to prevent propagation to the distal vessel. In conclusion, SCAD is a very rare but serious cause of ACS. [synapse.koreamed.org]
