Abstract:
Here we report a case of a 24-year-old woman diagnosed with Takayasu's arteritis with left main coronary artery involvement in which we performed the arterioplasty of the left main coronary artery using a glutaraldehyde-fixed autologous pericardial patch. Ten years of follow-up demonstrated the satisfactory patency of the ostium of the left main coronary artery.
