ABSTRACT
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a common cause of acute coronary syndrome particularly in younger women. Good outcomes with conservative management are generally expected. However, there is uncertainty of how to manage symptomatic or unstable patients. Percutaneous angioplasty may propagate the subintimal hematoma compromising coronary blood flow. Cutting balloon angioplasty can relieve the compressive effects of a propagated subintimal hematoma in SCAD.
