Intramyocardial dissecting hematoma (IDH), in the setting of an acute coronary syndrome, is a rare type of cardiac rupture. However, the best treatment for IDH in each clinical scenario is not clearly defined. We present a case in which the best approach for IDH and its final outcome are discussed.
