Sumario:Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is an uncommon cause of acute myocardial ischemia. SCAD complicated by coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) is rare and seldom reported. Coronary angiography is the gold standard for the diagnosis of SCAD. However, an obscure intimal flap may not be recognized with a conventional coronary angiogram, and intravascular imaging modalities are important in the diagnosis of SCAD. Optical coherence tomography contributes to providing information about the size, shape, and location of CAAs. Herein, we are presenting a challenging and unique case of a woman presenting with SCAD complicated by a CAA.
