title: Spontaneous coronary artery dissection treated with biovascular scaffolds guided by intravascular ultrasounds imaging.
abstract: We reported a case of a fit and active 48 years' old woman presented with acute coronary syndrome due to a spontaneous coronary dissection (SCAD) treated with bioresorbable scaffolds (BVS) implantation guided by intravascular ultrasounds (IVUS) with immediate and long-term good results.
