Abstract
Coronary transluminal angioplasty is a new alternative modality for the treatment of specific lesions of coronary artery disease. Although numerous complications have been recognized, this represents the first report of development of a severe left main coronary artery stenosis following left anterior descending artery angioplasty.Keywords
