While brain-to-pelvis imaging in SCAD patients can detect remote arteriopathies requiring follow-up, severe extracoronary arterial abnormalities and clinical vascular events are rare.
In this case series with blinded analysis of patients with SCAD, severe multivessel FMD, aneurysms, and dissections were infrequent. The findings of this study suggest that, although brain-to-pelvis imaging allows detection of remote arteriopathies that may require follow-up, extracoronary vascular events appear to be rare.
Persu et al. (Wed,) studied this question.
