چکیده
Haemorrhage is a major concern during repair of acute aortic dissection. In such circumstances, glue is often used for tissue reconstruction and also to fortify vascular anastomoses. In this report, we describe a rare case of ostial left main coronary artery stenosis potentially related to previous use of BioGlue.

Similarly, severe active inflammation surrounding BioGlue and a foreign body reaction at three months following application has been demonstrated by Erasmi et al. [3]. BioGlue is relatively more fluid than gelatin-resorcinformalin (GRF) glue. In the supine patient who is undergoing aortic dissection repair, the left coronary ostium...

Background Coronary ostial stenosis is a life-threatening complication of aortic valve replacement (AVR). Clinical symptoms usually appear within the first 6 months after AVR (Funada and Mizuno et al., Circ J 70:1312-7, 2006), and perioperative onset is very rare. Case presentation An 80-year-old woman with severe aortic stenosis was scheduled to undergo AVR. AVR using cardiopulmonary bypass ...

Iatrogenic left main coronary artery ostial stenosis is a rare and late life-threatening complication of aortic valve replacement. The exact causes of this critical condition, despite being still nowadays elusive, are possibly related to the insertion of perfusion catheters into the left coronary system for cardioplegia delivery. We describe the case of a 69-year-old man, with normal coronary a...
