title: Aorto-left ventricular tunnel with its origin in the left sinus of valsalva associated with a single coronary artery and aortic insufficiency in an adult.
abstract: Aorto-ventricular tunnel is a rare congenital anomaly, an abnormal paravalvular communication between the aorta and the left ventricle. We report successful surgical correction in a patient with aorto-left ventricular tunnel associated with a single coronary artery and aortic insufficiency who had undergone surgical correction a year before.
