Abstract:
A 50-year-old woman who developed severe angina pectoris 67 months following radiation therapy of the left side of the chest for adenocarcinoma of the left breast is reported. Angiographic studies showed an isolated severe stenosis in the left anterior descending coronary artery. Successful percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty was performed.
