    • A 16-year-old girl presented with rapidly progressive chest pain.
    • Laboratory testing revealed an elevation of cardiac enzymes, suggesting an acute coronary
      syndrome.
    • Conventional cardiac angiography showed that the left main trunk was not opacified; left
      coronary ostial atresia was suspected.
    • An aortic and cardiac CT examination was performed for further evaluation.
