title: Modified unroofing procedure in anomalous aortic origin of left or right coronary artery.
abstract: A modified technique is reported for unroofing of the intramurally coursing segment of the left main or right coronary artery with anomalous aortic origin. This technique avoids detachment and resuspension of the intercoronary commissure and thus lessens the risk of post-operative aortic valve regurgitation.
