The review described clinical manifestations and methods for diagnostics of LCA compression, and advantages of the endovascular correction of this complication in patients with pulmonary hypertension. Selection of a device to be implanted during the endovascular intervention in these patients was discussed with due account for concomitant treatment with oral anticoagulants. As an illustration of the issue under discussion, a clinical case of acute coronary syndrome in a female patient from the PAH Registry of the V. A.
