Fig 2 (A) The extrinsic compression of the proximal left main coronary artery (LMCA) by the marked dilatation of main pulmonary artery (47 mm in diameter) was shown in a cardiac 64-slice multi-detector computed tomographic scan on admission. Any atherosclerotic plaque was absent inside LMCA. (B) The narrowing of LMCA disappeared 4 months after the operation. The pulmonary trunk diameter decreased to 38 mm.
