Aortico-left ventricular tunnel is extremely rare congenital paravalvar communication between the aorta and the left ventricle. Usually it is treated surgically. In addition to the surgery the tunnel can be closed by percutaneous transcatheter intervention in appropriate patients. We present in this paper 7 months, 10 years, and 1,5 months old three male cases with aortico-left ventricular tunnel that were surgically treated and followed up within 7 years in our clinic.

Article Synopsis
- A case is reported of a 57-year-old woman experiencing unstable angina due to compression of the right coronary artery by a large aneurysmal ALVT, which was not detected by preoperative imaging.
- This case emphasizes the need for careful evaluation of unusual anatomical features in ALVT, requiring a combination of imaging and surgical exploration for diagnosis and effective treatment, leading to resolution of the patient's symptoms after surgery.
