Optimal treatment of spontaneous coronary artery dissection has not been defined. Spontaneous coronary dissection causing flow impairment or persistent ischemia should be considered for treatment by percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary artery bypass grafting. Percutaneous coronary intervention with stent implantation can restore the coronary flow, but there is the risk of stent implantation in the false lumen. Intravascular ultrasound guidance should be used to identify the false lumen and ensure correct stent implantation.

Abstract
Optimal treatment of spontaneous coronary artery dissection has not been defined. Spontaneous coronary dissection causing flow impairment or persistent ischemia should be considered for treatment by percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary artery bypass grafting. Percutaneous coronary intervention with stent implantation can restore the coronary flow, but there is the risk of stent implantation in the false lumen. Intravascular ultrasound guidance should be used to identify the false lumen and ensure correct stent implantation.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
