Congenital atresia of left main coronary artery: Proposed mechanism for severe disabling angina in a patient with non‐atherosclerotic single right coronary artery — A case report

A patient with progressive disabling angina was found to have a single right coronary artery with atresia of the left main coronary artery, and absence of any obstructive coronary disease.

Zusammenfassung:	A patient with progressive disabling angina was found to have a single right coronary artery with atresia of the left main coronary artery, and absence of any obstructive coronary disease. The patient required aortocoronary by‐pass surgical reconstruction of a left main coronary artery to control her angina. Possible mechanisms for the development of her anginal pain are briefly discussed.
