The Conundrum of Anticoagulation and Antiplatelet Therapy in Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a relatively rare and frequently misdiagnosed disease. The current knowledge of its pathophysiology and management is limited and based mostly on hypotheses. We present a patient with recurrent SCAD whose condition worsened soon after discontinuation...

description | Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a relatively rare and frequently misdiagnosed disease. The current knowledge of its pathophysiology and management is limited and based mostly on hypotheses. We present a patient with recurrent SCAD whose condition worsened soon after discontinuation of anticoagulation, prompting us to question the current management and review the evidence about pathophysiology, anticoagulation, and antiplatelet therapy. |
