This case suggests that chemoradiotherapy-induced arteriopathies could be considered a predisposing factor for spontaneous coronary artery dissection.
Background: Spontaneous coronary artery dissection is a rare and important cause of myocardial infarction, especially in young women without other coronary artery disease . This arterial dissection can occur within or between any of the 3 layers. Its predisposing factors include connective tissue diseases (Marfone syndrome, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome), vasculitis (polyarteritis nodosa, systemic lupus erythematosus, and Kawasaki disease), atherosclerosis and fibromuscular dysplasia. Clinical presentations of spontaneous coronary artery dissection are wide spectrum from asymptomatic to acute coronary disease, sustained ventricular arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death. Case presentation: We describe A 33-year-old man with history of Hodgkin's lymphoma five years earlier that became a candidate for Patent foramen ovale closure due to recurrent embolic cerebrovascular accident . Before the intervention, coronary angiography incidentally showed dissection in the left main and all major coronary arteries. Conclusions: Based on our hypothesis, chemoradiotherapy-induced arteriopathies could be consider as a predisposing factor for spontaneous coronary artery dissection.

Kavyani et al. (2023) conducted a case report in Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (n=1). Conservative medical management was evaluated on Progression of coronary artery lesions on computed tomography angiography. Conservative medical management of an incidental left main and three-vessel spontaneous coronary artery dissection in a 33-year-old man with prior chemoradiotherapy resulted in no lesion progression at 3 months.
