RESUMO
We describe a case of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) due to compression of the left main coronary artery (LMCA) by a false channel created by an acute aortic dissection (AAD). The dynamic pattern of artery obstruction is detailed as a key element to the diagnosis of extrinsic coronary compression throughout the angiography. Treatment by direct stenting restored complete anterograde coronary flow and improved myocardial perfusion.
