[Compromised lumen of ectopic left circumflex coronary artery by prosthetic valve (author's transl)].
Implantation of an aortic valve prosthesis in patient with aberrant left circumflex coronary artery arising from the initial portion of the right coronary artery resulted in compression of this vessel by the prosthetic valve and in pump failure after interruption of cardiopulmonary bypass. Incidence and significance of variations in coronary artery origin and course are mentioned.
