Abstract
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.
