Key result
Hybrid coronary revascularization successfully treats complex CAD in severe familial hypercholesterolemia.
Why the study?
Familial hypercholesterolemia causes early supravalvular aortic stenosis and coronary ostial stenosis, with potentially fatal complications if untreated in early stages.
Case Report (n=1)
Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an autosomal dominant inherited metabolic disorder characterized with high levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) plasma cholesterol.Increased plasma LDL-cholesterol levels cause cutaneous and tendinous xanthomas, supravalvular aortic stenosis and coronary ostial stenosis in younger ages.Complications can be fatal if it is not diagnosed and treated in preliminary stages.We present a 22-year-old male patient with familial hypercholesterolemia and concomitant supravalvular aortic stenosis and coronary artery disease treated with hybrid coronary revascularization approach.

Selçuk et al. (2018) conducted a case report in Familial hypercholesterolemia, supravalvular aortic stenosis, and coronary artery disease (n=1). Hybrid coronary revascularization approach was evaluated. A 22-year-old male patient with familial hypercholesterolemia, supravalvular aortic stenosis, and coronary artery disease was treated with a hybrid coronary revascularization approach.
