Spontaneous coronary artery dissection can be classified based on angiographic appearance into type 1 (evident arterial wall stain with multiple radiolucent lumens), type 2 (diffuse smooth stenosis of varying severity), and type 3 lesions (focal or tubular stenosis mimicking atherosclerosis). | [[Spontaneous coronary artery dissection]] can be classified based on [[angiographic]] appearance into type 1 (evident [[arterial]] wall stain with multiple [[radiolucent ]][[lumens]]), type 2 (diffuse [[smooth]] [[stenosis]] of varying severity), and type 3 [[lesions]] ([[focal]] or [[tubular]] [[stenosis]] mimicking [[atherosclerosis]]). Type 4 [[SCAD]] [[lesion]] is characterized by [[dissection]] leading to an abrupt total [[occlusion]], usually of a distal [[coronary]] segment. The [[total occlusion]] occurs as a result of diminished true [[lumen]] due to external compression by [[intraluminal]] [[hematoma]] rather than [[embolism]].

Overview
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection can be classified based on angiographic appearance into type 1 (evident arterial wall stain with multiple radiolucent lumens), type 2 (diffuse smooth stenosis of varying severity), and type 3 lesions (focal or tubular stenosis mimicking atherosclerosis). Type 4 SCAD lesion is characterized by dissection leading to an abrupt total occlusion, usually of a distal coronary segment. The total occlusion occurs as a result of diminished true lumen due to external compression by intraluminal hematoma rather than embolism. The intermediate type 1/2 SCAD lesion is characterized by the appearance of type 1 in conjunction with type 2 lesion.
Classification
The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) classification scheme for coronary dissection was devised in the pre-stent era for classifying the dissection following balloon angioplasty (i.e., iatrogenic dissection). In light of the distinctive angiographic features of spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD), Saw et al. proposed a classification system to better characterize the lesions:[1][2][3][4][5]
| Type | Feature | |
|---|---|---|
| Type 1 |
| |
| Type 2 |
| |
| 2A variant | Normal arterial caliber proximal and distal to dissection | |
| 2B variant | Dissection extends to the distal tip of the artery without discernible normal segment distally | |
| Type 3 |
| |
| Type 4 |
| |
| Intermediate Type 1/2 |
| |
Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection Type 1
Type 1 SCAD lesion is characterized by the pathognomonic appearance of contrast dye staining of the arterial wall with multiple radiolucent lumens, with or without the presence of dye hang-up or slow contrast clearing from the lumen.
Projection angle: 14 RAO, 35 CRA. Type 1 SCAD is seen in OM2.
Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection Type 2
Type 2 SCAD lesion is characterized by diffuse (typically >20–30 mm) and usually smooth narrowing that can vary in severity from inconspicuous mild stenosis to complete occlusion, plus:
- a. no response to intracoronary nitroglycerin and no atherosclerotic lesions in other coronary arteries
- OR
- b. repeat coronary angiogram showing angiographic resolution of the dissected segment or previous angiogram showing normal artery
- OR
- c. intracoronary imaging with optical coherence tomography or intravascular ultrasound proving the presence of intramural hematoma (IMH) and double-lumen
Type 2 SCAD lesion commonly involves the mid to distal segments of coronary arteries and can be so extensive that it affects the distal tip. Accordingly, type 2 lesions can be further divided into two variants (type 2 variant A and variant B).
Type 2 Variant A
In type 2 variant A lesion, the coronary segments proximal and distal to dissection are normal.
Projection angle: 25 LAO, 20 CRA. Type 2A SCAD is seen in R3, R4.
Type 2 Variant B
In type 2 variant B lesion, the dissection extends to the apical tip of the artery without discernible normal segment distally.
Projection angle: 41 RAO, 19 CRA. Type 2B SCAD is seen starting in L2 resulting in a total occlusion.
Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection Type 3
Type 3 SCAD lesion is characterized by focal or tubular (typically <20 mm) stenosis that mimics atherosclerosis, which requires intracoronary imaging (e.g. optical coherence tomography or intravascular ultrasound) to prove the presence of intramural hematoma or double-lumen. Angiographic features that may be useful in differentiating type 3 SCAD lesion from atherosclerosis include:
- a. lack of atherosclerotic changes in other coronary arteries
- b. long lesions (11–20 mm)
- c. hazy stenosis
- d. linear stenosis
Projection angle: 1 LAO, 35 CRA. Type 3 SCAD is seen in D1.
Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection Type 4
Type 4 SCAD lesion is characterized by dissection leading to an abrupt total occlusion, usually of a distal coronary segment. The total occlusion occurs as a result of diminished true lumen due to external compression by intraluminal hematoma rather than embolism. In keeping with the natural history of SCAD, spontaneous healing may be evident on subsequent angiography.
Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection Intermediate Type 1/2
The intermediate type 1/2 SCAD lesion is characterized by the appearance of type 1 in conjunction with type 2 lesion. Diffuse, smooth narrowing of the vessel (suggestive of type 2 lesion) adjacent to multiple radiolucent lumens with arterial wall staining (suggestive of a type 1 lesion) is observed.
