Conclusion and results:
SCAD is becoming an entity that is more recognized, especially in young
women without prior risk factors. Distal LAD is the most affected
vessel, mostly managed conservatively, but proximal SCAD is rare and
requires invasive treatment such as PCI, increasing the risk of possible
complications. Therefore, the location of the lesion is critical to risk
stratify the patient and requires close follow up with enrollment in the
national SCAD registry to help researchers better understand this
condition.
