Abstract
Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty of protected left main coronary artery stenosis is usually performed by an antegrade approach . In this case report, we describe left main coronary artery stenting by a retrograde approach through a saphenous venous graft in a patient in whom the antegrade approach was considered less appropriate due to chronic ostial occlusion.
