Drug-eluting Stents in Premature Coronary Disease in Young People with Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia and Prior Liver Transplant. A Report of Two Cases

Most cases described in those under 18 years of age have had a non-atherosclerotic indication such as transplant coronary vasculopathy [21,23,25,26], coronary dissection [21], and coronary compression or occlusion as a sequela of prior heart surgery [21,22,24].…”
