Reported cases of spontaneous coronary artery dissection in patients with COVID-19.

Author	Age/Sex	PMH	Presentation	Angiography findings	COVID diagnosis	Treatment
Kumar [26]	48/F	Migraine, hyperlipidemia	Severe retrosternal chest pain	SCAD (LAD); tapered compression of 70% was noted at the mid through distal LAD with reconstitution at the apex. Delayed contrast washout was noted in the proximal LAD indicating the proximal extent of the dissection.	Positive nasopharyngeal swab	Medical therapy (aspirin 81 mg daily and clopidogrel 75 mg daily)
Courand [31]	55/M	Peripheral artery disease	Cough, fever, dyspnea, chest pain	SCAD (RCA); total occlusion of the posterior descending artery with epicardial collateral from the left anterior descending artery. In the mid-right coronary artery, a spontaneous dissecting coronary hematoma was observed with an intimal tear.	Positive PCR	Conservative management (aspirin, statins, and beta-blockers)
Albiero [32]	70/M	Smoking, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, prior PCI	Persistent severe chest pain	SCAD (LAD); moderate in-stent restenosis on LCx-OM and a moderate RCA stenosis. The culprit lesion was the proximal LAD that presented with a very complex and unusual plaque morphology, indicative of a coronary artery dissection.	Positive RT-PCR	PCI/discharged with: aspirin 100 mg/day, clopidogrel 75 mg/day, pantoprazole 40 mg/day, atorvastatin 40 mg/day, bisoprolol 1.25 mg/day, and metformin 850 mg three times a day.
Fernandez Gasso [33]	39/M	Unremarkable	Fever, cough, myalgia, oppressive chest pain, and dyspnea at rest	SCAD (LAD, OM): large and severe lumen narrowing in the first OM bordered by normal segments compatible with type 2A SCAD; moderate lumen narrowing in the distal LAD that extended to the end of the artery compatible with type 2B SCAD; a mild fistula between the proximal segment of the RCA and the pulmonary artery.	Positive nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal swabs	Conservative therapy
