Key result
IVUS successfully identifies SCAD in an NSTEMI patient to guide appropriate zotarolimus-eluting stent placement.
Why the study?
Analysis of coronary lesions during selective coronary angiography can be difficult in MINOCA, making intravascular imaging essential for accurate diagnosis and management.
Case Report (n=1)
Intravascular ultrasound is a valuable tool for diagnosing spontaneous coronary artery dissection in patients presenting with borderline lesions, guiding appropriate invasive management.

May support IVUS for SCAD diagnosis in select NSTEMI cases; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation.
Vorobevskii et al. (2024) conducted a case report in Non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) / Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (n=1). Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) guided management and stenting with zotarolimus-eluting stent was evaluated on Treatment outcome. Intravascular ultrasound successfully identified spontaneous coronary artery dissection in a 60-year-old patient with NSTEMI, guiding appropriate treatment with a zotarolimus-eluting stent.
