    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Vascular Biology
    • Medical Case Reports

    Background:

    • Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is an uncommon cause of myocardial infarction, particularly in young women.
    • Left main coronary artery dissection is a rare and potentially fatal complication of SCAD.

    Observation:

    • This review synthesizes current knowledge on the incidence, presentation, pathogenesis, and management of SCAD.
    • A case report details a patient with left main coronary artery dissection.

    Findings:

    • SCAD most frequently affects young, healthy women, with limited reported cases globally.
    • The case presented is the first documented instance of successful treatment for left main coronary artery dissection using internal mammary artery bypass grafting.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights a novel and potentially life-saving surgical approach for a rare cardiovascular emergency.
    • Further research into SCAD pathogenesis and optimal management strategies is warranted.
