title: Child myocardial infarction and follow-up outcome after revascularization.
abstract: The occurrence of myocardial infarction and revascularization by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in children, though rare, has usually been reported to be due to secondary causes. Here, we report "real-world" revascularization by PCI in the youngest reported patient with atherosclerotic coronary heart disease, with excellent outcome after more than 30-month follow up.
