title: Left Main coronary angioplasty of a 9-year-old child with bioresorbable vascular scaffold [corrected].
abstract: Familial hypercholesterolemia is an autosomal dominant disorder due to mutations in the low-density lipoprotein receptor gene, characterized by skin and tendon xanthomas, xanthelasmas, and increased risk of premature coronary artery disease. Here, we report a case of 9-year-old girl who presented with angina and dyspnoea on exertion with xanthomas and an elevated serum cholesterol and triglyceride. She had severe stenosis of the left main coronary artery (LMCA) requiring angioplasty and placement of Bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BVS). This is the first case report in literature of the use of BVS for LMCA stenosis in a 9-year-old child. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
