Acute coronary syndrome due to spontaneous coronary dissection. A – baseline coronary angiogram of the left coronary artery, B – baseline coronary angiogram of the right coronary artery, C – control angiography at the moment of the chest pain intensification showed more pronounced left main stenosis, proximal occlusion of the left anterior descending artery and 90% stenosis of the proximal part of the circumflex artery, D – percutaneous coronary intervention procedure – direct-stenting with 3.0 × 23 mm drug-eluting stent from the left main to the left anterior descending artery
