Abstract:Aortic root replacement in patient with a coronary artery anomaly can be challenging. We describe aortic root replacement in a patient with annuloaortic ectasia and coarctation, who had an absent left main coronary artery. There were separate origins of the left anterior descending and left circumflex coronary arteries from the aorta. The technical modification employed in this case is discussed.
