Left main coronary artery occlusion is found in about 0.05% of all coronary arteriograms. In this case report left main occlusion was associated with a dominant right coronary artery and good collaterals to the circumflex and left anterior descending coronary arteries, which seems to be essential for survival in this lesion. Our case belongs to the minority of patients who have survived a myocardial infarction in the presence of left main occlusion.
