Kathirvel B, Prem Anand J, Mariappan B .

Abstract


A twenty year (20) old female patient, without any cardiac risk

 factors (non smoker, non diabetic and non hypertensive), was

diagnosed to have severe coronary artery disease, with

critical left main stenosis. OFF PUMP coronary artery bypass

graft surgery was performed with conduits harvested from the

saphenous vein. She had an uneventful recovery and was

discharged after ten days. This case report is to emphasize

and highlight the extremely early incidence of the coronary

artery disease and the best possible surgical management

that was offered to avoid premature cardiac related death.
