Abstract
Left main coronary artery compression is an underrecognized condition in patients with pulmonary artery hypertension. If present, it may lead to dismal outcome. In young patients with pulmonary hypertension or in patients with hugely dilated pulmonary artery with symptoms of angina, left main coronary compression must be ruled out.
