Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a rare cause of Acute Coronary Syndrome. Although its treatment is still debated, use of Bioreasorbable Scaffold was recently advocated as an attractive option in this setting. We report the first case, to our knowledge, of a new magnesium-made Bioresorbable Scaffold implantation in a young woman presenting with Non-ST- Elevation Myocardial Infarction and a rapid worsening SCAD.
