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.

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.
