The presence of an aberrant origin of left main coronary artery from the right sinus of valsalva passing between the aorta ascendens and pulmonary trunk is one of the anomalies most frequently associated with malignant clinical events, and surgical treatment is recommended. We report of a 64-year-old patient with a highly increased risk for surgery due to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. This case demonstrates that the use of a drug-eluting stent offers a suitable and valuable alternative.
