AbstractIatrogenic left main coronary artery stenosis after aortic valve replacement is an infrequent but potentially life-threatening complication. A 44-year-old woman who had normal coronary arteries documented by preoperative coronary angiogram, and who developed severe stenosis of the left main coronary artery and subtotal occlusion of the proximal right coronary artery after aortic and mitral valve replacements is presented. Coronary lesions were clinically manifested 4 months after the first operation. Accurate diagnosis was confirmed by repeat coronary angiography. She underwent successful coronary artery bypass grafting.
