Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is an important cause of acute coronary syndrome, especially in young women. Recurrent SCAD can be due to extension of dissection or de novo dissection of unrelated vessel. The authors present a case of acute de novo recurrent SCAD treated conservatively and with coronary intervention. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.)
