Abstract
Chronic total left main coronary artery occlusion at angiography is very rare, and there are only four cases reported with concomitant total right coronary artery occlusion. We describe a case of total left main and proximal right coronary artery occlusion and review the clinical and angiographic characteristics of this condition which represents the most severe from of coronary artery disease compatible with life.
