Transcatheter aortic valve implantation with a balloon-expandable prosthesis in a patient with single coronary artery: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Single coronary artery is a rare coronary artery anomaly with an incidence of <0.03%. The coexistence of coronary artery anomalies with severe aortic stenosis is extremely rare. Due to the singularity of the coronary artery orifice, the most concerning risk of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in such patients is coronary occlusion, which may very well be life-threatening.

Case summary

An 83-year-old female complaining of chest pain was referred to our hospital for severe aortic stenosis. The multi-slice computed tomography showed a congenital single coronary artery originating from the right sinus of Valsalva. The left coronary artery branched off of the right coronary artery, and passed between the aorta and main pulmonary artery. The heart team of
