Algorithm for manage- ment of acute spontaneous coro- nary artery dissection.[1]

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Coronary angiography after intracoronary nitrates
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Type 1 SCAD
(arterial wall stain, multiple lumens)
 
 
 
Type 2 SCAD
(intramural hematoma, diffuse, smooth stenoses)
 
 
 
Type 3 SCAD
(mimics atherosclerosis)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
If diagnostic uncertainty, consider adjunctive diagnostic strategies:
❑  OCT/IVUS if feasible/safe
❑  CT coronary angiography
❑  CTA/MRA/angiographic imaging for extracoronary vasculopathy/FMD
❑  Repeat coronary angiography at 6–8 weeks
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 


Abbreviations: CT, computed tomography; CTA, computed tomography angiography; FMD, bromuscular dysplasia; IVUS, intravascular ultrasonography; MRA, magnetic resonance angiography; OCT, optical coherence tomography.
