Does myocardial revascularization (LIMA to LAD bypass) improve symptoms in an adult with isolated atresia of the left main coronary artery?
Myocardial revascularization via LIMA to LAD bypass can successfully relieve angina and restore normal life in adults with isolated atresia of the left main coronary artery.
Beretta et al. (1990) studied this question.
