The gold standard for the diagnosis of SCAD is conventional [[coronary angiography]] with intravascular imaging. Although exposure to radiation has always been a concern for especially pregnant or young women, this is the only way to make a definitive diagnosis.
When the [[diagnosis]] of spontaneous coronary artery dissection ([[SCAD]]) cannot be ascertained by the standard [[coronary angiography]], intracoronary [[imaging]] such as [[intravascular ultrasound]] ([[IVUS]]) or [[optical coherence tomography]] ([[OCT]]) may provide complementary information for establishing a definitive diagnosis. [[Coronary]] [[computed tomography angiography]] (CCTA) may be useful for non-invasive follow-up of [[SCAD]] involving proximal or large-caliber [[coronary]] [[arteries]]. [[OCT]] findings suggestive of [[SCAD]] may include the presence of two [[lumen]]s and intramural [[hematoma]].

Overview

When the diagnosis of spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) cannot be ascertained by the standard coronary angiography, intracoronary imaging such as intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) or optical coherence tomography (OCT) may provide complementary information for establishing a definitive diagnosis. Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) may be useful for non-invasive follow-up of SCAD involving proximal or large-caliber coronary arteries. OCT findings suggestive of SCAD may include the presence of two lumens and intramural hematoma.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Intracoronary Imaging for SCAD

  • Definitive diagnosis of SCAD
  • Confirm true lumen entry by coronary wire
  • Facilitate stent sizing
  • Confirm adequate stent apposition
  • Confirm full coverage of the dissected segment
  • Facilitate diagnosis of potential arteriopathy
  • Disadvantages of intracoronary imaging for SCAD include:[5]

Indications for Intracoronary Imaging in the Setting of SCAD

  • A clinical-angiographic scoring system for faster and efficient SCAD diagnosis has been proposed as follows:[6]
