Abstract

A 26-year-old woman developed critical stenosis of the left main coronary artery 10 years after radiation treatment for Hodgkins disease. She was operated on but died in the immediate postoperative period. At autopsy the pathological findings were indistinguishable from those described in "typical" atherosclerotic plaques.
