Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a significant cause of myocardial infarction (MI) and is more prevalent in pregnancy. The disease is being increasingly appreciated and diagnosed with the development and application of coronary angiography and intravascular imaging. Recurrent spontaneous coronary artery dissection (R-SCAD) is relatively common, with recurrence rates ranging from 8 to 27%. R-SCAD usually involves anatomical sites different from the original SCAD lesion and can cause MI, ventricular arrhythmias, and cardiogenic shock. This study aims to conduct a comprehensive review of R-SCAD to identify early risk factors and guide prevention policies and interventions. In addition, the risk of R-SCAD in subsequent pregnancies in women with a history of SCAD is discussed.
