Abstract

We report two cases of angioplasty of the left main coronary artery for isolated left main coronary artery disease. One was 63-years old male with 90% occlusion of the left main coronary artery and the other was 64-years old male with 80% occlusion of the left main coronary artery. We have performed left main coronary artery angioplasty with pericardium. The postoperative courses were uneventful and good without specific complications.
