We report an acute coronary event in a young patient suffering from cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with sub‐cortical infarcts and leucoencephalopathy (CADASIL) successfully treated by primary angioplasty and direct stenting. Coronary involvement and pathophysiology of this genetic disorder is discussed. Cathet Cardiovasc Intervent 2003;59:235–237. © 2003 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
