We report the case of a 37-year-old transgender patient with a history of orchiectomy on gender-affirming estrogen therapy who was hospitalized with an acute onset of chest pain with a resolution shortly after the presentation. On presentation, the patient had a rapid rise in troponin level and was urgently taken to the cardiac catheterization lab where spontaneous coronary artery dissection was diagnosed and treated with cutting balloon angioplasty and medical management. After a multidisciplinary discussion, the only notable risk factor was estrogen supplementation after gender reassignment surgery.
