title: Spontaneous left main coronary artery dissection.
abstract: Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a very rare clinical condition. Physiopathology of SCAD is still mostly unclear. Clinical presentation of SCAD ranges from atypical symptoms to sudden cardiac death. The diagnosis of dissection is generally made by using conventional coronary angiography. Invasive or conservative treatment is reasonable.
