Key result
Multimodality imaging techniques, such as intravascular ultrasound and optical coherence tomography, are essential for diagnosing spontaneous coronary artery dissection when angiography is doubtful.
Why the study?
Because of the low incidence of SCAD, its pathophysiology is not fully understood, and diagnosis and clinical handling differ from typical acute coronary syndromes.

May support IVUS/OCT for equivocal SCAD; leaves open prospective validation before routine adoption.
This review highlights the role of multimodality imaging, including invasive and noninvasive methods, in the diagnosis and management of spontaneous coronary artery dissection.
Marrazzo et al. (2022) conducted a review in Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection. Multimodality imaging techniques was evaluated. Multimodality imaging techniques, such as intravascular ultrasound and optical coherence tomography, are essential for diagnosing spontaneous coronary artery dissection when angiography is doubtful.
