Abstract Objectives To compare the clinical and angiographic characteristics of high-risk and low-risk spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) patients to determine the optimal treatment strategy. Background SCAD is a rare and emerging cause of acute coronary syndrome and sudden cardiac death, especially in young female patients. However, the indication of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with SCAD remains elusive. Methods We evaluated the clinical and angiographic characteristics of all SCAD patients admitted to our center from 2012 to 2020. The outcomes of the high-risk and low-risk SCAD patients according to the location of the lesion segment with dissection or intramural hematoma were compared. Further analyses were performed to evaluate the vessel healing or residual dissection in the patients receiving the follow-up angiography. Results A total of 81 SCAD patients were enrolled in the present study, in which 38 patients were categorized as high-risk group, defined as involvement of the left main artery or proximal segment of any main coronary artery. PCI was the more common treatment approach in the high-risk group (68.4%), while conservative treatment was more common in the low-risk group (62.8%). The incidence of major adverse cardiac events, defined as cardiac death, myocardial infarction, unstable angina pectoris, severe arrhythmias, or heat failure, within 1 year follow-up was similar between the two groups. 57 patients (70.4%) received the follow-up angiography after 1 year. The high- and low-risk groups had a similar rate of vessel healing among the PCI treatment patients. However, more patients achieved spontaneous healing in the low-risk group than the high-risk group among the conservative treatment patients (86.4% vs. 33.3%, p |
