Objective: To understand the meanings of the lived experience of a woman with revascularization by coronary disease. Methodology: Phenomeno-logical case study with a gender perspective. It was carried out in Cartagena, Colombia, from February to June 2015. The thematic analysis was guided by the Van Manen's method. Results: The lived body experience meant perceiving the warning of disease; fore see the ravages of corporality/femininity, and anticipating the suffering. The lived relations meant maintaining a dialogue with a superior being, a connection of aid and dependence with caregivers and Feeling "the other way around": from caregiver woman to woman cared. The lived space experience meant the entrance to the operating room: To cross the red line; the intensive care unit stay, receiving a care in solitude; to leave it, the joy of winning a battle. The time lived meant a break point between her previous and her present stay, a temporary transit of experience, and thus to recover in order to keep up her role. The lived things meant an anticipated concern and a loss of control of her role. Conclusion: The meanings provided to the experience allow understanding its existential distinctiveness. During the waiting time for surgery, the woman anticipates the impact on the social role, on its dynamics and interactions; when facing the procedure, she experiences a limit situation. Gender-sensitive interventions are required in order to recognizing the needs of women in varying care contexts.
