Abstract

Left main coronary artery disease is rare, accounting for 1% of all coronary artery disease and traditionally, is treated by coronary artery bypass grafting. We report our experience and five years follow up, after a coronary osteal surgical plasty in a young man who referred to our center with an anterior myocardial infarction.

Keywords: Acute coronary syndrome; Coronary artery bypass grafting; Left main reconstruction; Percutaneous coronary intervention complication.
