Ahn, Tahk, Choi, Yoo, Zheng, Choi, Choi, Choi, Yoon, Hwang, and Shin: Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection Manifested during Ergonovine Test and Treated with Intravascular Ultrasound Guided Stenting: A Case Report

Abstract

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is an uncommon cause of acute myocardial ischemia, which frequently presents as sudden death. The pathophysiology and treatment of SCAD have not been fully determined. Herein, a case of SCAD, manifesting as variant angina, which rapidly progressed during an ergonovine test, in which 3 drug-eluting stents were deployed using intravascular an ultrasound guidance, with an excellent immediate result, is reported.
