Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD): Case Series and Mini Review.

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) has gained recognition in recent years as a non-atherosclerotic cause of acute coronary syndrome (ACS), especially in young and middle-aged women without any of the classic risk factors for cardiovascular disease. The booming use of coronary angiography in patients presenting with ACS combined with new, revolutionary methods of intravascular imaging, have led to increased rates of SCAD diagnosis. We aim to present a brief, up-to-date review of the existing literature, along with our experience as reflected in the recent management of nine SCAD cases in three tertiary care hospitals.
