Anomalous origin of the right coronary artery: report of a case.

A 63-year-old man was admitted with a complaint of dyspnea. Echocardiography showed severe aortic regurgitation (AR), and moderate mitral regurgitation (MR). Coronary angiography revealed that the right coronary artery (RCA) arose from the ascending aorta with a high takeoff and a significant stenosis at the distal segment of the RCA.

Left ventricular outflow tract pseudoaneurysm after aortic valve replacement: case report.

A 68-year-old woman was admitted for angina pectoris and general fatigue without symptoms or signs of infective endocarditis. The patient had undergone re-replacement of an aortic prosthetic valve three months previously. Transesophageal echocardiography revealed an echo-free cavity in the mitral-aortic intervalvular fibrosa region just below the aortic annulus, communication of the echo-free cavity with the left ventricular outflow tract, and turbulent flow into the cavity.
