The incidence of coronary artery anomalies is about 0.6-1.3% in angiographic studies of the adult population. Double right coronary artery is one of the rarest abnormalities reported in the literature. We report a case of a double right coronary artery originating from a single orifice in a woman who underwent coronary angiography for a pathological transprosthetic aortic gradient.
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in the presence of a mechanical mitral valve (MMV) prosthesis is challenging due to the stiff mitral cage in the boundaries of the aorto-mitral curtain. We describe the technique for TAVR using the ACURATE-neo™ aortic bioprosthesis in a patient with a MMV prosthesis.
In patients with TIAAD, the debranching of the aortic arch with the Lupiae technique can be safely performed. This technique creates a long and stable landing zone that can be easily used for the deployment of endovascular stentgrafts in case of distal false lumen expansion.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
