Acute coronary syndrome as a result of left main coronary artery stenosis after aortic valve replacement. A report of three cases
نویسندگان
چکیده
Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) as a result of iatrogenic coronary ostial stenosis (ICOS) is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication of aortic valve replacement (AVR). We present three cases of patients with ACS shortly after AVR, in whom ICOS were revealed. They refused an operation and thus they were treated with percutaneous coronary intervention. The potential pathomechanisms of ICOS and treatment options are discussed.

متن کاملBicuspid Aortic Valve: An Unusual Cause of Aneurysm of Left Coronary Sinus of Valsalva
Bicuspid aortic valve is traditionally considered an innocuous congenital anomaly. Due to a better and widespread availability of non-invasive imaging techniques, it has come to the fore that 30% of these cases develop complications, viz., valve abnormality (aortic regurgitation and stenosis), and aneurysm of aortic root and ascending aorta. Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm is an uncommon complicatio...
متن کاملCongenital Absence of Left Circumflex Coronary Artery
Congenital absence of left circumflex artery is a rare congenital anomaly of the coronary arteries. The prevalence of the anomaly in different studies ranges from 0.6% to 1.3%.
