Spontaneous coronary artery dissection is a rare cause of acute coronary syndrome or sudden cardiac death. It often occurs in females with no conventional cardiovascular risk factors. Bilateral iliac artery dissection is also a rare disease. This case report describes a patient with spontaneous coronary artery dissection and iliac artery dissection. The authors believe that a conservative approach could be used as an effective therapy for a clinically stable patient.

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection is an extremely rare cause of acute coronary syndrome. Although it predominantly affects young women in the peripartum period, it can also occur in men. The left coronary artery is most frequently involved. The usual presentation is ST segment elevation myocardial infarction. Although several treatment modalities have been proposed, the optimal treatment options still remain to be established. This current case report focuses on a 40- year-old male presented with acute coronary syndrome and subsequently was found to have coronary artery dissection.

Abstract Background In patients suspected of acute coronary syndrome, but where the coronary angiography (CAG) has shown unobstructed coronary arteries differential diagnoses include spontaneous coronary artery dissection and takotsubo cardiomyopathy. This case report presents a patient with spontaneous coronary artery dissection but diagnostic signs suspicious of takotsubo cardiomyopathy. Which leads to a consideration of the co-existence of the diseases. Case summary A 57-year-old woman was acutely admitted to the emergency ward with sudden development of chest discomfort, palpitations, and dyspnoea. At hospitalization, the electrocardiography showed T-wave inversions in I, aVL, and V2, and Troponin I was elevated. Initial echocardiography revealed apical akinesia consistent with takotsubo cardiomyopathy. Initially, a diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome or takotsubo cardiomyopathy was suspected. The patient was further diagnostically assessed with CAG including optical coherence tomography which showed spontaneous coronary artery dissection in the left anterior descending artery. At follow-up 3 months later, CAG showed a fully healed coronary artery, and repeated echocardiography showed normalization of the left ventricular function. Discussion In this case report, initially, acute coronary syndrome was suspected due to electrocardiography with T-wave inversions and elevated cardiac biomarkers. Takotsubo cardiomyopathy was suspected when echocardiography showed apical ballooning, but CAG with optical coherence tomography revealed a spontaneous coronary artery dissection. Interestingly no severe obstructions of coronary arteries were seen, and follow-up echocardiography showed fully regained myocardial function. This leads to the debate as to whether this might be a case of co-existing spontaneous coronary artery dissection and takotsubo cardiomyopathy.

Background. Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a rare cause of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Aortic dissection and SCAD share common aetiologies such as a fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD), Marfan, Ehlers Danlos, and more rarely systemic lupus erythematosus and Loeys-Dietz; however, SCAD has never been known to have a familial association with aortic dissection. Case Summary. This case report describes a 48-year-old woman suffering from SCAD who had a mother who died from ascending aortic dissection in her 50s. Discussion. This is the first case report to our knowledge of a patient with SCAD with a first-degree relative with aortic dissection. Our case is interesting in that it shows that if predisposition to arterial dissection was inherited from mother to daughter, one of them suffered an extremely rare manifestation of their underlying disease. It also shows that a high index of suspicion is needed for SCAD in the presence of a patient with ACS and a family history of dissection elsewhere in the arterial tree.

The article presents a case report of spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) in the young woman with signs of undifferentiated connective tissue dysplasia (UCTD). The patient was admitted urgently with a clinical and electrocardiographic signs of acute ST-segment elevation coronary syndrome. The patient underwent a coronary angiography, which revealed a type D linear intimal dissection. The decision was made to perform balloon vasodilation with the placement of a drug-eluting stent. With multicomponent therapy, the patient’s condition improved. Physical examination revealed external markers of UCTD. Therefore, it was quantified by systems and organs. The patient had no other cardiovascular diseases, previous infection, or other trigger factors. She was discharged with recommendations to continue the prescribed therapy. This case report demonstrates SCAD as a rare cause of acute myocardial infarction in a young patient. The background for SCAD development in this case was UCTD. Algorithms for managing patients with SCAD against the background of UCTD have not been defined and require further study.

Ergot Derivative

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a rare but increasingly recognised cause of acute coronary syndrome. While numerous risk factors are associated with SCAD, one potential cause is coronary artery vasospasm. The use of cabergoline—an ergot derivative and dopamine agonist that may induce vasospasm—has been associated with SCAD in one other case report worldwide. Here, we describe SCAD in a 37-year-old woman on long-term cabergoline therapy with no other cardiac risk factors. Cabergoline-induced SCAD should be considered in patients presenting with an acute coronary syndrome who are treated with this medication.

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection, a rare cause of acute coronary syndrome, is due to nonatherosclerotic coronary events and is probably underrecognized as a cause of myocardial infarction. The condition typically affects premenopausal women who are otherwise healthy. Among more than 1,200 reported cases, recurrent dissection has been described 63 times, and only 3 reports have documented multiple episodes of dissection involving different vascular territories. We present the case of a woman in her 30s who, over a 9-year period, presented 4 times with coronary dissection in different vascular territories. She was first treated conservatively, then with stents, and ultimately by means of coronary artery bypass grafting. In addition to this case, we discuss this rare condition and its management.
