Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD)‎: A Series of 7 Cases, Experience of the University Hospital Center Mohammed VI, Oujda, Morocco

الملخص EN

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection is a less known pathology by the cardiologists and represents a real challenge especially to the interventional cardiologist.

The positive diagnosis is based on the visualization of intimal flap with the false lumen by intracoronary imaging means.

This entity particularly interests young people without classic cardiovascular risk factors of atherosclerosis and female during the peripartum period.

We report, in this paper, our experience in the University Hospital Center of Mohammed VI, Oujda, Morocco, about 7 cases diagnosed by coronary angiography during 3 years of practice while comparing our results with data from large series published in the literature.

The purpose of this work is to draw more attention to this particular pathology that is becoming more and more common.
