Abstract

We report a case of total occlusion of the left main coronary artery (LMCA) in a patient with chronic, stable angina. Total occlusion of the LMCA is rare and survival depends on the existence of collateral circulation. In LMCA disease, there is usually also disease in other parts of the coronary arterial tree.
