ABSTRACT
We report the successful repair of left main coronary artery obstruction with aortitis syndrome. She was a 39-year-old woman and was admitted to Saiseikai Kumamoto Hospital because of angina pectoris. Her bilateral radial artery pulsation was not palpable. Total occlusion of the left main coronary artery (LMT) and bilateral subclavian artery was detected by angiography. Patch enlargement of the LMT was performed using a Distaflo (Impra Carbon PTFE) graft. Postoperative coronary angiography showed an adequate LMT diameter and sufficient blood flow.
