Abstract

Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD) is a rare and potentially life threatening cause of Acute Coronary Syndrome. Recurrence of SCAD in patients, other than peripartum women, has been discussed infrequently in the literature. We report a case of patient who suffered recurrent SCAD in different coronary arteries. Her history was significant for a likely SCAD five years earlier. We briefly review the literature on SCAD and its recurrence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
