Abstract
Familial hypercholesterolemia is an uncommon disease that may be associated with atherosclerosis affecting coronary arteries and the ascending aorta. Coarctation of the aorta is rarely involved in this disease. The ideal surgical approach for management of coexisting coronary artery disease and coarctation of the aorta in a child with familial hypercholesterolemia is unclear. We report the case of a 14-year-old girl with familial hypercholesterolemia who underwent double coronary artery bypass grafting due to proximal lesions of both the left anterior descending artery and the right coronary artery.Entities:
