Overview

Medical Therapy

There are no specific guidelines regarding the optimal management of spontaneous coronary artery dissection. Based on the clinical and angiographic scenario, treatment options include conservative medical regimens similar to that for acute coronary syndrome, percutaneous coronary intervention, and/or coronary artery bypass surgery. In the majority of cases, SCAD may be managed successfully with medical treatment alone in the absence of ongoing myocardial ischemia or hemodynamic instability.[1][2] Initial conservative management typically includes antithrombotic therapy with heparin, aspirin, clopidogrel and glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors, and antiischemic therapy with beta blockers and nitrates. However, the use of antithrombotic therapy may increase the risk of bleeding in the false lumen causing an expansion of the intramural hematoma, resulting in a decreased flow through the true lumen.[3] Fibrinolytics should be avoided. Calcium channel blockers may offer relief in coronary artery spasm.

Beta Blockers

There is a general agreement that beta blockers take the most important place in the medical management of SCAD patients. Beta blockers may improve the outcomes of SCAD patients with reducing coronary arterial shear stress likewise aortic dissection. [4] Furthermore, beta blockers should be used in these group of patients in order to reduce complications of myocardial infarction. [5] [6]
