- 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.
