Abstract
Endoluminal revascularization of left main coronary artery vessels is consi dered to be relatively contraindicated because of a high procedural mortali ty and restenosis rate. This report describes the first successful case of endovascular stenting in an unprotected left main coronary artery stenosis in a heart transplant patient.
