Background: The use of drug-coated balloon in the management of true bifurcation lesions appears to be an attractive option to reduce the rate of stent thrombosis and restenosis particularly at the level of the side branch ostium. We aim to assess the safety and the efficacy of a hybrid approach combining a drug-eluting stent in the main branch and a drug-coated balloon to treat the side branch ostium in patients with de novo true bifurcation.
Methods: From September 2020 to March 2022, 45 patients with a de novo true bifurcation lesion Medina (1.
BACKGROUND Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a well-known cause of acute coronary syndrome. ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is the most common presentation of SCAD, which can be complicated by sudden cardiac death (SCD). Conservative management is the cornerstone of treatment except in case of ongoing ischemia or large myocardial compromise.

Spontaneous coronary artery disease (SCAD) is a particular form of acute coronary syndrome affecting preferentially female patient with few or without traditional cardiovascular risk factors. Male patient is exceptionally concerned by SCAD. We report a case of a young male patient presenting with anterolateral STEMI in relation with SCAD of Left main and left anterior descending artery (LAD).

Case Summary: In this report, we present a classical non-ST-segment myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) condition in link with a spontaneous coronary artery wall haematoma.
