Abstract
Left main coronary artery atresia is a very rare congenital coronary anomaly with blind end of left main trunk. The clinical symptoms as syncope, failure to thrive, and myocardial infarction are presented and surgical treatments are required in most cases. We report a case of a 14-months-old girl with left main coronary artery atresia and excel-lent surgical result of 1 year follow-up after coronary artery bypass with left internal thoracic artery.
