Abstract Background Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a unique cause of myocardial infarction, and optimal treatment should be selected according to the ischaemic condition. Patients with ongoing ischaemia or haemodynamic instability may require revascularization. Cutting balloon angioplasty has been acknowledged as an option for revascularization. However, few observations of the coronary artery conditions after cutting balloon angioplasty in SCAD patients have been reported. Here, we demonstrate two cases in which we evaluated the angiographic morphology of targeted coronary arteries in the chronic phase after cutting balloon angioplasty. Case summary Patient 1 was a 46-year-old woman who presented at our hospital with chest pain. Electrocardiography suggested acute coronary syndrome and coronary angiography was performed. The coronary angiography and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) examinations revealed SCAD in the left anterior descending artery (LAD). Revascularization with cutting balloon angioplasty was successful. Follow-up coronary angiography 15 months after the angioplasty showed no visible stenosis in the LAD. Accordingly, the patient no longer needed to antiplatelet therapy. Patient 2 was a 50-year-old woman who was transported to our hospital for ventricular tachycardia. Coronary angiography and IVUS revealed SCAD in the right coronary artery. Coronary flow was restored by cutting balloon angioplasty. Follow-up contrast-enhanced computed tomography angiography 36 months after angioplasty showed a healed appearance. Thus, she was able to discontinue antiplatelet therapy. Conclusion Cutting balloon angioplasty may be a possible method to treat SCAD.
