Angiographic and interventional management of spontaneous coronary artery dissections: When less is more, or "When 'Better' flow is the enemy of good flow"

Abstract

Conservative management of SCAD in clinically stable patients with non-flow limiting lesions in major arteries is associated with favorable outcomes A careful, methodical approach to pursuing PCI in patients with SCAD is warranted Peripartum patients with SCAD appear to be at higher risk for technical complications; interventions in these patients should be performed by highly experienced operators.
