Cardiac allograft vasculopathy is the leading cause of graft failure and death after the first year of heart transplantation. The optimal therapy for unprotected left main coronary artery disease in transplanted hearts has not been established. We report a case of emergency unprotected left main percutaneous coronary intervention in a transplanted heart after an aborted sudden death in a patient who was waiting for coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
