A 55-year-old woman presented in our hospital with complain of acute chest pain from one week ago. The past medical history was positive for only hypertension. The patient with diagnosis of non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) underwent coronary angiography. The angiogram revealed long significant narrowing in mid part of left anterior descending artery (LAD) artery, which this segment was bordered by normal proximal and distal segments. The patient with diagnosis of spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD type 2A) underwent conservative management.
