ABSTRACTIn this case report we described the results in a patient whose left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) was totally occluded. We revascularized the patient with diffuse atherosclerosis in LAD only by performing endarterectomy without CABG. We think that this method may be an alternative technique to conventional revascularization in LAD diffuse atherosclerosis.
