Abstract

The isolated coronary ostial stenosis is a lesion of the aortic wall that encroaches on the orifice of the left main coronary artery, atherosclerosis is belived to be a common cause and premenopausal female patients are most commonly affected. Stenosis of the left coronary ostium is a critical lesion which requires urgent myocardial revascularization including a surgical intervention because this lesion jeopardizes such a large volume of left ventricular myocardium. We report the case of a patient in whom percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) was performed successfully for the stenotic lesion of distal anastomotic site after surgical ostioplasty with autologous pericardium.
