BACKGROUND: @entity12040 is associated with a low incidence of coronary artery involvement, such as @entity850 , @entity3885 , @entity439 , and @entity301 , but @entity63 can be fatal. METHODS: Between 1972 and April 2001, 81 of 130 @entity1 given a diagnosis of @entity12040 underwent selective coronary angiography, and among them, 31 @entity1 (4 male and 27 female @entity1 ; mean age, 41.1 +/- 13.2 years) had abnormal coronary angiographic findings and were recruited for this study. RESULTS: Abnormal coronary findings consisted of 24 @entity3979 of greater than 75%, 3 coronary artery-bronchial artery anastomoses, 3 @entity439 @entity301 , and 1 combined @entity301 and @entity254 . Among 24 @entity1 with @entity3979 , the ostium was most frequently involved (87.5%). Twenty-three of 24 @entity1 with @entity3979 were treated surgically. The mean follow-up duration was 9.65 +/- 6.9 years, with a 100% follow-up rate. Four @entity292 and 4 @entity439 in 7 @entity1 were not treated surgically. Coronary steal phenomenon was always associated with occluded pulmonary arteries and @entity120 . @entity574 was related to severe aortic @entity101 with or without @entity337 and @entity1498 . There were 2 (8.7%) in-hospital deaths and 3 (13%) late deaths. The actuarial survival rate, including in-hospital deaths, was 86.5% +/- 7.3% at 5 years and 81.4% +/- 8.4% at 10 years. CONCLUSION: The incidence of @entity301 is relatively low in @entity1 with @entity12040 ; however, surgical treatment is recommended for @entity1 with @entity3979 because @entity63 can be one of the major causes of @entity204 .
