Ostial left coronary stenosis following aortic root reconstruction with BioGlue

Interact Cardiovasc Thorac Surg. 2011 Aug;13(2):243-5. doi: 10.1510/icvts.2011.273094. Epub 2011 May 23.

Abstract

Haemorrhage is a major concern during repair of acute aortic dissection. In such circumstances, glue is often used for tissue reconstruction and also to fortify vascular anastomoses. In this report, we describe a rare case of ostial left main coronary artery stenosis potentially related to previous use of BioGlue.
