We encountered siblings with familial Majewski osteodysplastic primordial dwarfism type II (MOPD II) with acute myocardial infarction in adolescence and in their early 20s. We successfully performed percutaneous and surgical coronary interventions. From these cases, we were able to better understand coronary artery disease of MOPD II and provide better management. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.)
