Received 10 November 1986; revised 9 February 1987; .

Dr J. T. Stewart, Cardiac Department, St. George's Hospital, London SW170QT, England.

A 54 year old woman with isolated stenosis of the left coronary ostium died following cardiac catheterisation and emergency coronary artery bypass surgery. Histological examination showed the ostial narrowing to be a local and discrete plaque of atherosclerosis. Like most reported cases this patient was a young woman whose disease pursued an aggressive course.

Key Words: Coronary ostial stenosis, • histology, • atherosclerosis.
