A Case Report with the Total Occlusion of the Left Main Coronary Artery

Total chronic occlusion of the left main coronary artery is a rare angiographic finding in a catheterization laboratory. In these unusual cases , the best therapeutic approach is surgical revascularization. We report a 53-year-old male presenting with non-Q myocardial infarction. Coronary arteriogram showed a total occlusion of the left main coronary artery with good collaterals from the right coronary artery that had a %60 stenosis before the right ventricular branch. The patient underwent successful coronary artery bypass surgery. Postoperative period was uneventful.
