Popis: Abstract We successfully treated a patient with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH) with stable coronary arterial disease using optimal medical therapy and low‐density lipoprotein (LDL) apheresis for 16 years without percutaneous coronary intervention or bypass surgery. Intensive LDL lowering using apheresis and medication protected the patient from coronary atherosclerotic progression even in HoFH.
