May support staged PCI feasibility in multivessel SCAD; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective confirmation before practice change.
We present a case of a 43-year-old woman who presented with a non-ST elevation myocardial infarction. During her first cardiac catheterisation, she was diagnosed with a chronic total occlusion of the right coronary artery and a flow limiting dissection of her middle left anterior descending artery. The dissection of the left anterior descending artery was stented with two overlapping everolimus-eluting stents. There were no complications from this percutaneous coronary intervention. On the following day, the patient continued to have persistent chest pain and returned to the catheterisation laboratory. It was then found that the patient had a total occlusion of the right coronary artery secondary to dissection. This was also stented with three everolimus-eluting stents with excellent clinical and angiographic results. It is important to consider spontaneous multivessel coronary dissections which can be treated successfully with percutaneous coronary intervention.

Lin et al. (2012) conducted a case report in Multivessel spontaneous coronary artery dissection (n=1). Percutaneous coronary intervention with everolimus-eluting stents was evaluated on Clinical and angiographic results. Staged percutaneous coronary intervention with everolimus-eluting stents successfully treated multivessel spontaneous coronary artery dissection with excellent clinical and angiographic results.
