Overview

A retrospective and prospective registry will evaluate demographic and angiographic data in patients with spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) using medical records, invasive coronary angiography, intravascular imaging and/or computed multislice coronary tomography. The type of treatment applied during index hospitalization (i.e., clinical management, percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary artery bypass grafting) will be evaluated. Long-term follow-up (up to 10 years) will be also reported.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients with coronary manifestations due spontaneous coronary artery dissection
• Angiographic findings of SCAD in coronary angiogram or coronary tomography
• Agreement between two or more invasive cardiologists (adjudicated committee) for the diagnosis.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Non-agreement for SCAD diagnosis
• Coronary dissections due other mechanisms: unstable atherosclerotic plaque or trauma-induced.
