Introduction:
Coronary artery occlusion due to fusion of a leaflet to the sinotubular junction is a rare finding that we should consider in the differential diagnosis of young patients who have aortic regurgitation and angina.
Patient And Method:
We present a young female with severe aortic regurgitation due to right coronary fusion who underwent mini-invasive aortic valve reconstruction.
Results:
Postoperative evolution was satisfactory. The patient was discharged on the 5th postoperative day and after 3.5 years of follow-up he remains in functional class I, without anticoagulant treatment and with mild aortic regurgitation.
Cocnclusion:
The Ozaki technique can be used in patients with aortic regurgitation due to single leaflet dysfunction.
