Compression of left main coronary artery (LMCA) secondary to pulmonary trunk dilatation is a newly recognized entity that has been associated with severe pulmonary hypertension. In this paper we present a case of extrinsic compression of LMCA caused by dilated pulmonary trunk secondary to pulmonary hypertension documented using 64-slice multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) coronary angiography. This case is followed by a review of the literature.
继发于肺动脉干扩张的左冠状动脉主干(LMCA)受压是一种新认识的疾病,与严重肺动脉高压相关。在本文中,我们报告一例因肺动脉高压继发肺动脉干扩张导致的LMCA外部受压病例,该病例通过64层多排螺旋计算机断层扫描(MDCT)冠状动脉造影得以记录。本文随后对相关文献进行了综述。
