ABSTRACT

Myocardial ischemia due to coronary artery disease is a rare condition in children. The reported causes of this condition include vasculitis; commonest being Kawasaki' disease, premature atherosclerosis due to familial dyslipidemias, congenital coronary artery anomalies and post-operative complications of procedures requiring coronary artery re-implantation in children, e.g. arterial switch procedure and Ross procedure. Allograft arteriopathy after heart transplantation is a more recent addition to this list [Mavroudis et al., 1996]. Surgical procedures required for the treatment of coronary artery disease in children include, but are not limited to coronary artery re-implantation, re-routing, augmentation of the osteum, and coronary artery bypass grafting [CABG]. We present our experience of a rare case of triple vessel coronary artery disease of unknown aetiology in a child, treated with coronary artery bypass grafting procedure
