Pulmonary artery aneurysm is a rare clinical entity and
its definitive diagnosis requires a high degree of clinical
suspicion. In this article, we report on a 27-year-old female
patient admitted with the signs and symptoms of coronary
ischemia due to the compression of pulmonary artery
aneurysm on the left main coronary artery. The patient
underwent successful surgical correction.
