Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection, Single Coronary Artery
Description
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is an uncommon non-atherosclerotic aetiology of acute coronary syndromes
(ACS) characterised by the formation of a false lumen inside the arterial wall, resulting in sudden occlusion of blood flow without
any trauma or intervention. The pathogenesis of SCAD is not completely understood, and the association between coronary artery
anomalies and SCAD is unclear. This case study reports a unique occurrence of Non-ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI)
in a 43-year-old female patient. The NSTEMI was caused by Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD) affecting the
Posterior Descending Artery (PDA),in the setting of a single coronary artery. This is a very rare subtype of coronary artery
anomalies in which the right coronary artery (RCA) gives rise to the left anterior descending artery (LAD) and left circumflex artery
(LCx). The patient was managed conservatively, taking into consideration the extent of myocardial involvement and the resolution
of symptoms. This congenital anomaly may have been the primary predisposing factor for her develop SCAD. Additional research
is required to determine the correlation between coronary artery anomalies and SCAD
