Bilateral aortoostial coronary artery disease: moyamoya of the heart?

Am J Cardiol. 1999 Apr 15;83(8):1296-9, A10. doi: 10.1016/s0002-9149(99)00081-8.

Abstract

Moyamoya is a vascular occlusive disease typically limited to the cerebral arterial system. We report a case of severe stenosis of the left main and right coronary arteries occurring in association with moyamoya disease, supporting the concept that moyamoya may be an intracranial manifestation of a systemic arterial disorder.
