Severe ostial left main coronary stenosis developed 35 days after successful Bentall‐type operation for acute aortic dissection. Treatment of this kind of complication is usually performed with open chest coronary artery bypass grafting. In our case, treatment with percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty and stenting of the lesion immediately after diagnostic coronary angiography was performed successfully, with persisting good results at 9‐month clinical follow‐up.
