Abstract

We reported a case of compression of the ostium of left main coronary artery caused by aortic root intramural hematoma after blunt thoracic trauma treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). A 46-year-old man visited our hospital because of exertional chest discomfort and dyspnea for 4 months. He was diagnosed as compression of the ostium of left main coronary artery caused by aortic root intramural hematoma, severe stenosis in the ostium of the left main coronary artery. The percutaneous coronary intervention was conducted, and a drug-eluting stent was implanted successfully. The symptoms were improved and the patient had a good recovery after PCI surgery.
