CABG indicates coronary artery bypass grafting; MI, myocardial infarction; NA, not applicable because all were treated with CABG; NR, not reported or able to be determined from data provided; PCI, percutaneous coronary intervention; and SCAD, spontaneous coronary artery dissection.

*

Success as defined per author or as patients not requiring second intervention for the same lesion.

Sepsis.

Cardiogenic shock.

§

Left main SCAD complicated by cardiogenic shock not improved by salvage left main PCI.

||

Eighteen patients in this cohort had concomitant atherosclerotic heart disease on angiography.

Perioperative MI and death in a patient with severe 3-vessel coronary disease and concomitant atherosclerotic disease.

#

Two of 34 intended bypass targets unable to be revascularized because of extent of dissection.

**

Multiorgan failure after bailout CABG for unsuccessful PCI.

††

One patient died of retrograde aortic dissection after PCI; 1 patient died after emergency CABG for multivessel SCAD with ST-segment–elevation MI and cardiogenic shock; and 1 patient died of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and cardiogenic shock with coronary anatomy not suitable for revascularization.

‡‡

All cases pregnancy-associated SCAD.

§§

Left main artery SCAD in late pregnancy, cardiac arrest during emergency cesarean delivery, refractory cardiogenic and hemorrhagic shock.
