Anomalous Aortic Origin of Coronary Arteries: Case Report of Unroofing With Coronary Re-Implantation Technique
Abstract
Anomalous Aortic Origin of Coronary Arteries is a coronary disorder uncommon but occasionally lethal. The possibility of sudden death is the indication for surgery. We inform a case of a patient with anomalous aortic origin of right coronary artery which emerged from left sinus of Valsalva, catalogued as type III. He was previously treated by CBAG, however the bypass was occluded and therefore he was sent to our service. We made a correction using the unroofing technique. Unroofing technique is a reproducible technique with good results, ultimately solving the problem. The outcome was excellent, 6 months later he was reported asymptomatic.
