We herein report the case of a 29-year-old woman who was diagnosed with incomplete atrioventricular septal defect and extrinsic compression of the left main coronary artery (LMCA) with chest pain due to postpartum thyroiditis. She exhibited chest pain with ST elevation, and coronary computed tomography showed that the LMCA was compressed between the dilated pulmonary artery and aorta. After her hyperthyroidism was treated, her chest pain resolved. Surgical repair of endocardiosis and coronary bypass grafting were performed. On the one-year follow-up visit, the dilation of the pulmonary artery and right heart was decreased. It is important to consider the possibility of compression of the LMCA in patients presenting with pulmonary hypertension and chest pain.
我们在此报告一例29岁女性病例,该患者被诊断为不完全性房室间隔缺损,左冠状动脉主干(LMCA)受到外部压迫,并因产后甲状腺炎出现胸痛。她表现为伴有ST段抬高的胸痛,冠状动脉计算机断层扫描显示LMCA被扩张的肺动脉和主动脉压迫。在她的甲状腺功能亢进得到治疗后,胸痛消失。进行了心内膜炎手术修复和冠状动脉搭桥术。在一年的随访中,肺动脉和右心的扩张程度减轻。对于出现肺动脉高压和胸痛的患者,考虑LMCA受压的可能性很重要。
