Popis: Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a rare and potentially deadly disease without a clear and universal treatment. Medical as well as mechanical interventions, including percutaneous and coronary bypass surgery, have been used. We present two dissimilar cases of SCAD that required markedly different treatments reflecting the variety in clinical presentation and outcome. A brief review of the literature is included.
