J Cardiovasc Surg (Torino). 1996 Dec;37(6):621-2.

Abstract

A new case of Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) suffering ischemic heart disease is reported. The patient was successfully operated on in our Institution and the bibliographic search showed only another case of such an association of diseases successfully treated by surgery. This patient proves that coronary artery surgery procedures are possible when OI complicates the cardiac ischemic syndrome.
