Key result
Right coronary artery re-implantation into the aorta was performed in four patients with right coronary artery ostial stenosis and concurrent left coronary artery lesions.
Case Report (n=4)
Describes a surgical technique of right coronary artery re-implantation into the aorta as an alternative treatment for ostial coronary artery stenosis.
Should not change practice; case report leaves open the role of aortic re-implantation for right coronary ostial stenosis.
Previously described surgical treatment for ostial coronary artery stenosis relied on either venous or arterial bypasses or ostial patch angioplasty. These surgical procedures are performed with bovine pericardium, saphenous vein or internal thoracic artery. We describe a technique of right coronary artery re-implantation into the aorta. The procedure was performed in four patients with right coronary artery ostial stenosis along with other left coronary artery lesions.
