Article Synopsis
- Anomalous aortic origin of a coronary artery is a rare condition where a coronary artery starts from an unusual spot in the aorta, which can lead to serious heart issues, especially in young athletes.
- A study of 16 adult patients who had surgical repair showed that the majority underwent a technique called unroofing, with no deaths or major complications reported during the follow-up period.
- The results indicate that surgical treatments like unroofing and neo-ostium creation lead to excellent outcomes, with all patients surviving and no significant health problems during an average follow-up of nearly 74 months.
Unlabelled: We present a rare case of a coronary pseudoaneurysm after a Bentall-Bono procedure. During a routine follow-up computed tomography scan, a pseudoaneurysm located between the aorta and the proximal portion of the right coronary artery was diagnosed. Contrast extravasation was observed with partial thrombosis of the pseudoaneurysm.
