Aortic root replacement with anomalous origin of the coronary arteries

Coronary arteries with anomalous origin from the aorta can be at risk during aortic valve procedures. We report a case of origin of the circumflex and left coronary artery from the proximal right coronary artery in a patient with a bicuspid aortic valve and aortic root aneurysm. Attention to the ana...

Zusammenfassung:	Coronary arteries with anomalous origin from the aorta can be at risk during aortic valve procedures. We report a case of origin of the circumflex and left coronary artery from the proximal right coronary artery in a patient with a bicuspid aortic valve and aortic root aneurysm. Attention to the anatomic relationship of the anomalous arteries to the aorta allowed safe aortic root replacement.
