Abstract:
We describe the successful management of a stent protruding from the right coronary ostium into the aortic root in the setting of aortic valve replacement for aortic stenosis. Due to advances in medical care more elderly patients present for aortic valve surgery after percutaneous coronary intervention. Therefore, with an aging population due to advances in medical care, more patients will present for aortic valve surgery after percutaneous coronary intervention. We suggest a degree of caution before valve deployment in transcatheter aortic valve intervention or during annular manipulation in patients undergoing traditional aortic valve replacement with coexisting patent proximal stents.
