Abstract:
:The surgical treatment of the completely obstructed left main coronary artery is aortocoronary saphenous-vein bypass to the left coronary artery system. Without surgical intervention, this lesion has an exceedingly poor prognosis. This report describes a patient with atherosclerotic obstruction of the left main coronary artery and congenital pulmonary valvular stenosis, an unusual combination of lesions not previously documented together. The patient remains asymptomatic 22 months after aortocoronary saphenous-vein bypass and pulmonary valvotomy.

CHEST文献大全abstract::In summary, this is a patient who presented with respiratory acidosis and cor pulmonale. The major diagnostic challenge was in differentiating primary cardiopulmonary disease from a central abnormality of ventilatory drive.
