Occlusion of the left main coronary artery secondary to left ventricular angioma.

چکیده
Our experience with a patient who had an angioma of the anterior wall of the left ventricle that produced complete occlusion of the left main coronary artery is presented. Diagnosis was made before surgery from findings on cineangiographic studies. Successful surgical treatment consisted of a double aortocoronary bypass to the left anterior descending and obtuse marginal coronary arteries. The angioma was left undisturbed.
