title: Treatment of spontaneous coronary dissection with drug-eluting stents--late clinical, angiographic and IVUS follow up.
abstract: The prognosis of spontaneous coronary artery dissection is uncertain and optimal treatment is unknown. We previously described the first reported implantation of drug-eluting stents in spontaneous coronary artery dissection. The immediate angiographic result was good, and we now report the late clinical, angiographic and intravascular ultrasound follow up.
