We report a case of a 14-year-old boy with progeria syndrome and cardiac arrest due to myocardial infarction, who was submitted to an immediate coronary angiography which revealed left main stem and three-vessel coronary artery disease. A prompt double bypass coronary artery grafting surgery was performed, and, despite successful coronary reperfusion, the patient remained in coma and brain death was declared on fourth day after surgery.engAdolescentCoronary AngiographyCoronary Artery BypassElectrocardiographyHeart ArrestHumansMaleMyocardial InfarctionProgeriaRare DiseasesHSM CCTHSM CAR PEDHSM CARjournal article10.1177/2150135118803596
