title: Coronary artery stenting in a patient with progeria.
abstract: Progeria syndrome is a very rare disease with early demise in the second decade due to cardiovascular disease. Most events are sudden and fatal, leaving no time for medical or interventional therapies; no such interventional therapy has been reported. We present a 13 years old boy who previously had suffered from dissection of both internal carotid arteries; he now presented with exercise-induced angina. Both CT-scan and angiography revealed severe stenotic lesions at the origin of the right coronary artery and left anterior descending artery, typical for dissection. Coronary artery stenting resolved the symptoms. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
