A 15-year-old girl with pseudoxanthoma elasticum and associated severe coronary artery disease underwent double coronary artery bypass using left internal mammary artery and saphenous vein. Preoperatively the patient had life-threatening syncope and positive treadmill test results. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient has been doing well for 3 years. Pseudoxanthoma elasticum is a rare disease that can cause premature coronary arterial obstructive disease in children and adolescents.

D011561 Pseudoxanthoma Elasticum An inherited disorder of connective tissue with extensive degeneration and calcification of ELASTIC TISSUE primarily in the skin, eye, and vasculature. At least two forms exist, autosomal recessive and autosomal dominant. This disorder is caused by mutations of one of the ATP-BINDING CASSETTE TRANSPORTERS. Patients are predisposed to MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION and GASTROINTESTINAL HEMORRHAGE.
