Abstract
The pathophysiological mechanism underlying spontaneous coronary artery dissection remains unclear. Although an endothelial-intimal disruption is assumed to be involved as either a primary or secondary event, the presence of a tear in the coronary intima has not been histologically presented, to our knowledge. We present three autopsy cases of spontaneous coronary artery dissection in which histopathological examination revealed an intimal tear and connection between true and false lumen in the area of the dissection.
