LM compression by the pulmonary artery in a pacient with pulmonary hypertension - case report.

Left main coronary artery (LM) compression by a dilated main pulmonary artery is often an incidental finding in patients with pulmonary hypertension. It may cause angina, left ventricular dysfunction and sudden cardiac death. A safe and effective treatment option in such cases is the LM stenting. We present a patient with a corrected aortopulmonary window and development of late postoperative pulmonary hypertension with significant LM compression treated with direct stenting.
