A 42-year-old woman, with pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) but no cardiovascular risk factor, presented with chest pain. Coronary CT angiography was performed on a 128-slice system using 70-mL intravenous contrast medium with a heart rate of 61 beats/min. CT examination revealed a severe proximal left anterior descending stenosis with poststenotic aneurysmal dilatation (Fig. 1), together with a nonsignificant
