The observations from Dores et al are consistent with prior reports in that the rates of definite stent thrombosis are low and decreasing in recent years. The challenge remains how to afford to study such low frequency events with...

A case series of 5 patients with SCAD is presented to help illustrate the features of this disorder that pose diagnostic challenges. Improved awareness of this disorder and associated trends might improve a clinician’s index of suspicion and...
