The fenestration of a coronary artery hematoma is a therapeutic option in case of a life-threatening spontaneous coronary artery dissection, if the conservative treatment is not feasible. Here we present the case of a 34-year-old woman who presented three spontaneous coronary artery dissections, on three different arteries, over a period of twenty-one months. The diagnosis was confirmed by endovascular imaging. During an acute coronary syndrome, emergent percutaneous coronary intervention of the left anterior descending artery was performed, successfully, by a fenestration of the hematoma, using an AngioSculpt® scoring balloon.
