We report the case of a 62-year-old woman who presented with classic symptoms of stable angina. Cardiac images and catheterization results revealed absent pulmonary valve syndrome and compression of the left main coronary artery by a massively dilated pulmonary artery aneurysm. The patient's anginal symptoms were relieved after pulmonary arterioplasty. Others have described proximal left main coronary artery compression in the presence of a dilated and hypertensive pulmonary artery. To our knowledge, this is the first case in which a pulmonary artery aneurysm caused left main coronary insufficiency in the absence of pulmonary hypertension—a clinically important complication of congenital pulmonary valve-related pulmonary arteriopathy.

We report a case of a 53-year-old male patient with typical angina and dyspnea with moderate exertion due to extrinsiccompression of the left main coronary artery (LMCA) by a pulmonary artery aneurysm. Coronary angiography demonstrated 90% stenosis of the LMCA ostium. Percutaneous coronary intervention was successfully performed with implantation of a 6.0 mm × 12 mm bare-metal stent guided by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). He remained asymptomatic at three-years evaluation, and angiographic and IVUS follow-up showed no significant in-stent neointimal hyperplasia or luminal loss, with excellent apposition and covering of stent struts and minimal luminal area 23.3 mm 2 as measured by IVUS.
