Abstrakt:	Prosthetic aortic valve dehiscence is an uncommon complication of prosthetic valve endocarditis that may occur in patients who have undergone aortic valve replacement (AVR). The concurrent presence of aortic root pseudoaneurysm may further complicate the clinical presentation through the external compression of coronary arteries. Thus, patients may present with clinical features of coronary ischemia. Echocardiogram and coronary angiography are useful in establishing diagnosis. Treatment involves a multidisciplinary approach involving cardiologists, infectious disease specialists, and cardiothoracic surgeons. The authors of this study discuss a 51-year-old male who presented with anginal chest pain and was found to have a new left bundle branch block, elevated troponins, and left main coronary artery compression complicating aortic root aneurysm. He ended up requiring a re-do AVR, repair of the pseudoaneurysm, and coronary artery bypass graft. Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist.
