A 36‐year‐old male had coronary heart disease with a 12‐year history of muscular weakness in his bilateral lower extremities and gait disturbance characterized by classical features of gastrocnemius and peroneal muscular atrophy. This is a clinical report of the first case of Charcot‐Marie‐Tooth disease (type 2) associated with the left main coronary artery disease requiring bypass surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. The surgical procedure and postoperative course were uneventful. The patient was followed for 18 months postoperatively. (J Card Surg 2004;19:246‐247)
