Abstract
A 54 year old woman with isolated stenosis of the left coronary ostium died following cardiac catheterisation and emergency coronary artery bypass surgery. Histological examination showed the ostial narrowing to be a local and discrete plaque of atherosclerosis. Like most reported cases this patient was a young woman whose disease pursued an aggressive course.Keywords
