RESUMO
Idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension is a serious condition that carries a poor prognosis. While exertional dyspnea is the most common symptom, angina like chest pain, most often due to right ventricle ischemia, may occur at advanced stages. We present a patient with pulmonary hypertension symptomatic for dyspnea and angina in whom computed coronary tomography angiography showed compression of the left main coronary artery by a large pulmonary artery aneurysm. Percutaneous coronary intervention and stenting was performed resulting in significant clinical improvement. This case emphasizes the role of different cardiovascular imaging modalities for the diagnosis of rare conditions.
RESUMO
Se describe un caso clínico en el que se aplica una técnica hibrida para el tratamiento del Divertículo de Kommerell complicado por ser una estrategia segura para nuestra paciente. La decisión debe basarse en el conocimiento de la anatomía compleja, el inicio y extensión de la disección como el estado clínico del paciente.
A clinical case is described in which a hybrid technique is applied for the treatment of Kommerell's Diverticulum, complicated by being a safe strategy for our patient. The decision should be based on knowledge of the complex anatomy, the initiation and extent of the dissection as well as the clinical status of the patient.
