case_images: Admitting electrocardiogram revealed normal sinus rhythm, signs of left ventricle hypertrophy, and ST depression on posterior and lateral leads (Figure 1).
case_images: Coronary angiogram and chest computed tomography.. Notes: Coronary angiogram (A) in right anterior oblique showing a complex obstruction of the left main coronary artery. Chest computed tomography (B) showing a long obstruction of the left main coronary artery due to extrinsic compression.. Abbreviation: LAD, left anterior descending.

case_images: An emergent coronary angiogram (Figure 2A) revealed a long, complex lesion on the left main coronary artery (80% lumen obstruction) with tapering contor, suggesting extrinsic compression. Chest computed tomography (Figure 2B) suggested that left main compression was due to aortic root abscess or hematoma.
case_images: Late postoperative chest computed tomography revealed a patent left coronary artery after homograft root replacement.
