  • Title: Concomitant aortic valve replacement and surgical angioplasty of left main coronary ostium.
    Author: Codecasa R, Scioti G, Baglini R, Pratali S, Milano A, Bortolotti U.
    Journal: Thorac Cardiovasc Surg; 2000 Apr; 48(2):105-7. PubMed ID: 11028714.
    Abstract:
    The association of calcific aortic valve disease and isolated coronary ostial stenosis is rare. A 80-year-old woman was found to have severe aortic stenosis with critical narrowing of the ostium of the left main coronary artery. She was successfully managed by simultaneous aortic valve replacement and patch angioplasty of the left main coronary artery, using a patch of autologous pericardium fixed in glutaraldehyde. Angiographic control at 1 month coupled with intravascular echographic imaging showed adequate relief of the ostial stenosis and patency of the left main trunk.
