Accelerated epicardial coronary artery atherosclerosis has been well-documented in cocaine users.There are only two reported cases of cocaine-associated diffuse intimal expansion by proliferated smooth muscle cells causing significant coronary luminal compromise.This type of lesion histologically resembled chronic trans-plant arteriopathy.Here,we report a third such case.
