Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A 74-year-old woman with exertional angina was diagnosed with occlusion of the left coronary ostium associated with a rudimentary aortic valve cusp. A transesophageal echocardiogram, a multi-detector computed tomographic scan, and a coronary angiographic scan revealed the rudimentary aortic cusp covering the small left coronary aortic sinus leading to occlusion of the ostium of the left coronary artery, despite the intact coronary arteries. After excision of the rudimentary left coronary cusp, the left coronary ostium appeared intact. An aortic valve replacement with annular enlargement using a bioprosthetic valve was performed. The patient uneventfully recovered without angina. |
