SCAD is now recognized as an important cause of ACS in women, and its treatment is generally based on conservative therapy leading to complete cure. However, complete cure is not systematic, and data are lacking to identify patients at risk of malignant progression and to define the best therapeutic strategy.A 36-year-old woman with STEMI on SCAD extending from the LM to the middle LAD and circumflex artery, evolving under medical treatment to a large LM pseudo aneurysm. After CT evaluation and IVUS measurement, the patient underwent pseudo aneurysm exclusion by implantation of two overlapping DES on his collar. The choice of conservative treatment in the initial phase, given the extension of SCAD to all left coronary arteries, and the management of this voluminous LM pseudo aneurysm by implantation of two overlapping DES rather than by a covered stent or coil embolization, can be discussed here.
