Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A 25-year-old Japanese female complaining chest oppression and palpitation was admitted to hospital under the presumptive diagnosis of ischemic heart disease (IHD), although no obvious underlying disease associated with IHD was detected. Coronary angiography showed stenosis at the proximal site of left anterior descending artery (LAD), with dilatation and tortuosity at the bifurcation of the first and the second septal branches. Intravascular ultrasound imaging of the LAD showed intimal thickness without calcification at the site of stenosis. The stenosis was successfully and smoothly dilated by percutaneous transluminal angioplasty. Even with precise evaluation, the cause of the coronary artery disease in this young female patient was not clarified. Further careful follow-up is needed. |
