摘要：

Interferon-alpha treatment is a rare cause of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). We report a case of a 43-year-old man treated for chronic hepatitis C infection complicated by decompensated right heart failure diagnosed with PAH and external coronary artery compression secondary to a dilated pulmonary trunk. The novel complication of extrinsic coronary artery compression should be considered in PAH patients presenting with chest pain or acute coronary syndrome. Establishing a diagnosis has clinical value as pulmonary vasodilator therapy may improve symptoms.
