Optical Coherence Tomography and PCI in a Patient With Methamphetamine-Associated Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
A 44-year-old man with a history of significant methamphetamine abuse presented following witnessed out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Immediate bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation was initiated, with return of spontaneous circulation. The patient was intubated and noted to have increasing requirements for hemodynamic support. An electrocardiogram demonstrated anterior Q-waves with minor (<1 mm) ST-segment elevation in leads V1-V3, with corresponding ST-segment depression in leads II and III, and arteriovenous fistula, and echocardiography demonstrated severely reduced left ventricular systolic function. Coronary angiography demonstrated a diffuse linear hazy lesion in the mid left anterior descending (LAD) artery, suspicious for spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) (Fig. 1A). Given the thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) 3 flow, this was initially managed conservatively. The patient was extubated but continued to have angina 1 week later. The patient also described having used methamphetamine earlier in the same day of his cardiac arrest. Computed tomography angiography of the brain and renal arteries did not show evidence of fibromuscular dysplasia. Re-look coronary angiography and optical coherence tomography (OCT) revealed multiple false lumens, intimal tears, and significant stenosis of the mid LAD artery, compressed by intraluminal hematoma (Fig. 2A ; Fig. 1B; Video 1 , view video online). Given the symptomatic state and angiographic worsening of the lesion post OCT, percutaneous coronary intervention was performed to the mid LAD artery, under OCT guidance (Fig. 2B).Figure 2(A) Linear haziness in mid left anterior descending artery (white arrow) suspicious for spontaneous coronary artery dissection.

However, amphetamine-associated SCAD is rare, with a limited number of cases reported.1Navid H. Soleimani H. Hosseini K.

However, the differential diagnosis also includes either a re-canalized vessel post prior infarction, a woven coronary artery anomaly, or plaque rupture with emptied cavity. These cannot be excluded with certainty, especially in the context of the presence of anterior Q-waves and underlying severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction. Our case highlights the role of OCT imaging in helping identify the etiology of SCAD, ensuring proper wire positioning in the true lumen, and identifying entrance and exit intimal tears to guide the percutaneous coronary intervention strategy.Novel Teaching Point•Careful use of optical coherence tomography can help clarify etiology and guide management decisions in patients with suspected spontaneous coronary artery dissection. •Careful use of optical coherence tomography can help clarify etiology and guide management decisions in patients with suspected spontaneous coronary artery dissection.
