Abstract:
We describe two patients with spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) while on immunosuppressive therapy following renal transplantation. The role of cyclosporine A as a potential etiologic factor in spontaneous coronary artery dissection is discussed. A review of the recent literature on spontaneous coronary artery dissection highlights the changing clinical presentation and management of these patients.
