Popis: Extrinsic compression of coronary arteries causing angina pectoris is very unusual. No data regarding the optimal treatment for coronary artery compression due to dilated cardiac chambers have been reported. In this case report, we describe a man with severe mitral valve stenosis and the dilated left atrium, which resulted in coronary artery compression, and the successful management of his condition by surgical reconstruction.
