An anomalous origin of the left circumflex coronary artery that arises as a side branch of the right coronary artery and encircles the aortic annulus is usually an incidental finding. However, in patients undergoing aortic valve/root procedures, its existence can significantly complicate the surgical treatment. We report our operative strategy with three different prostheses without valve downsizing.
左旋支冠状动脉异常起源于右冠状动脉的侧支,并环绕主动脉瓣环,通常是偶然发现的。然而,在接受主动脉瓣/根部手术的患者中,它的存在会显著增加手术治疗的复杂性。我们报告了使用三种不同的假体而不进行瓣膜缩小的手术策略。
