Abstract

Coronary ostial stenosis after aortic valve replacement (AVR) is a rare but life-threatening complication. Here, we report a case of right coronary artery ostial stenosis in a patient who had a history of re-do AVR and normal preoperative coronary angiographic findings. The patient was successfully treated with a drug-eluting stent.
