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

J Card Surg. 2011 Jul;26(4):437-9. doi: 10.1111/j.1540-8191.2011.01278.x.

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.
