Overview
Treatment for spontaneous coronary artery dissection pursues several main goals including antianginal therapy, prevention of recurrence, assessment, and management of extra coronary vascular abnormalities, and improvement of quality of life.
Treatment Approach
- Treatment for spontaneous coronary artery dissection pursues several main goals:[1]
- Antianginal therapy
- Prevention of recurrence
- Assessment and management of extra coronary vascular abnormalities
- Improvement of quality of life
Management of Chest Pain
- To manage of chest pain in patients with SCAD consider the followings:[1]
- Antianginal medications
- Consider further testing to rule out underlying ischemia
- Consider other possible diagnoses
Prevention
- To reduce the risk of SCAD recurrence, the following should be considered:[1]
- Beta-blocker therapy
- Management of hypertension
- Maintaining physical activity
Assessment of Vascular Abnormalities
- To identify patients with SCAD-associated conditions, imaging with CT angiography or magnetic resonance angiography is recommended.[1]
Improvement in Quality of life
- To improve the quality of life in patients with SCAD, consider:[1]
- Cardiac rehabilitation referral
- Manage patients comorbidities

Algorithm for management of acute spontaneous coronary artery dissection.[2]
Management of Acute Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Clinically stable without high-risk anatomy | Clinically stable with high-risk anatomy (i.e., left main or proximal 2-vessel dissection) | Active/ongoing ischemia or hemodynamic instability | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
❑ Conservative therapy ❑ Monitor as inpatient 3–5 days | ❑ Consider CABG ❑ Conservative Rx may be reasonable | ❑ Consider PCI if feasible, OR ❑ Urgent CABG (based on technical considerations and local expertise) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Abbreviations: CABG, coronary artery bypass grafting; PCI, percutaneous coronary intervention; Rx, management.
