Patch Repair of Left Main Coronary Artery Using Autologous Pericardium in a Young Female

Successful patch repair of the left main coronary artery was performed using fresh autologous pericardium in a 19-year-old female without evidence of aortitis. Early and late postoperative studies revealed good patency of the left main coronary artery, and the patient is free of symptoms. Patch repair may be the best option for isolated left main coronary artery disease, especially in young patients.
