    Author: Gómez Varela S, Montes Orbe PM, Alcíbar Villa J, Egurbide MV, Sainz I, Barrenetxea Benguría JI.
    Journal: Rev Esp Cardiol; 2004 Jul; 57(7):695-8. PubMed ID: 15274855.
    Abstract:
    Primary pulmonary hypertension is often associated with angina-like chest pain of uncertain etiology. Left main coronary artery compression by the pulmonary artery is a treatable cause of angina and should be considered in these patients. We describe a patient presenting with primary pulmonary hypertension, clinical angina and extrinsic compression of the left main coronary artery by the pulmonary artery, who was treated with direct stenting.
