Clinical presentation was acute myocardial infarction in four cases and unstable angina pectoris in one of them. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Presentation and patient characteristics Patients presenting with SCAD have a spectrum of clinical presentation, and fortunately, the majority appear to present with ACS with good in-hospital prognosis ( 13 ). [cdt.amegroups.com]

While coronary artery dissection may present as acute myocardial infarction or as sudden death, sudden death accounts for the majority of presentations, thus leading to diagnosis usually at autopsy. [omicsonline.org]

Idiopathic Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection: Incidence, Diagnosis And Treatment نويسندگان: [ Micha Maeder ] - Division of Cardiology, Department of Internal Medicine, Hospital of St. Gallen, CH-9007 St. [scipers.com]

Less is known about characteristics, treatment and follow-up of patients with spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) without associated pregnancy or underlying atherosclerosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

However, the optimal treatment strategy remains unknown. In this case report, we describe a patient with SCAD undergoing PCI, where intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) guidance was essential for successful treatment. [scitechnol.com]

Prognosis - Coronary artery dissection Treatment - Coronary artery dissection Treatment depends on the location and severity of the dissection. Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) surgery may be necessary in some cases. [checkorphan.org]

Long term prognosis is reported as variable. [scorgloballifeamericas.com]

The pattern and/or severity of presentation and prognosis are related to the vessels involved. For example, left main, left anterior descending and multi-vessel disease have the poorest prognosis. [gamma.wustl.edu]

Retrospective Case-identification Denmark Heart Registry Study Describe incidence of SCAD Describe predictors of SCAD Describe prognosis of SCAD SCAD was identified in 22 of 32,869 (0.7%) of angiograms. [bestbets.org]

On the basis of this series and data from the literature, we suggest a strategy to improve the often dire prognosis of SCAD. Emergency angiography to confirm diagnosis is essential. [karger.com]

Massive spontaneous hemoperitoneum of unknown etiology: A case report. Suber, Jr., W. [connection.ebscohost.com]

Regarding the etiology, SCAD is classified broadly into two groups: atherosclerotic and non-atherosclerotic SCAD. [clinmedjournals.org]

We found 4 cases of SCAD unrelated to pregnancy where recent emotional stressors were postulated a contributing etiological factor in women [ 7, 8, 9, 10 ]. [em-consulte.com]

The etiology is uncertain. Hormonal changes during pregnancy, hemodynamic stress and changes in the autoimmune status have been considered as possible etiological factors. [heartviews.org]

The aim of this paper is to review the epidemiology, etiology, presentation, diagnosis and management of SCAD. [cdt.amegroups.com]

Epidemiology, Etiology, and Demographics SCAD prevalence remains uncertain and in retrospective studies has been reported as 0.07% to 1.1% (1,5–7). [imaging.onlinejacc.org]

The probable mechanisms associated with SCAD have been reported so that patients can be separated into three different pathophysiologic groups according to their condition: 1) the non-atherosclerotic, peripartum period group; 2) the atherosclerotic group [synapse.koreamed.org]

Although the cause of SCAD may be atherosclerotic or non-atherosclerotic, contemporary usage of the term "SCAD" has focused on and is synonymous with the non-atherosclerotic variant, which has distinct pathophysiology, management, and outcomes from atherosclerotic [raredr.com]

The pathophysiology involves hemorrhage between the medial layer and the external elastic lamina, leading to separation of the layers, expansion of a false lumen, and compression of the native lumen that results in ischemia. 2 Rupture and hemorrhage of [revespcardiol.org]

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]

For medical management, aspirin and beta-blocker are typically administered long-term for secondary thrombotic prevention and reduction of arterial shear-stress, respectively. [raredr.com]

Beta-blockers and nitrates are often used to prevent superimposed vapospasm. In cases of myocardial ischemia or compromised coronary flow, reperfusion therapy is used. In patients with severe ischemia, coronary-artery bypass grafting is done. [web.colby.edu]

Intracoronary thombus prevented visualization of the whole coronary structure in 61% of patients. 16 patients were withdrawn due to poor OCT images. [bestbets.org]
