We submit the case of a 75-year-old man that underwent aortic valve replacement whose preoperative coronary angiography showed lesion-free coronaries. Two months after surgery he began to feel rapidly progressing effort angina pectoris. Transesophageal echocardiography showed prosthetic normal function while allowing the study of the great coronary trunks. We observed the presence of a 50% stenosis at the ostium of the left coronary artery trunk due to the use of selective coronary cannulation to supply cardioplegia solution during valve replacement. A second coronary angiography confirmed this finding. Transesophageal echocardiography may be used as an initial diagnostic method when coronary ostial stenosis is suspected after aortic valve replacement.

D011183 Postoperative Complications Pathologic processes that affect patients after a surgical procedure. They may or may not be related to the disease for which the surgery was done, and they may or may not be direct results of the surgery. Complication, Postoperative,Complications, Postoperative,Postoperative Complication
D003327 Coronary Disease An imbalance between myocardial functional requirements and the capacity of the CORONARY VESSELS to supply sufficient blood flow. It is a form of MYOCARDIAL ISCHEMIA (insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle) caused by a decreased capacity of the coronary vessels.

D001021 Aortic Valve The valve between the left ventricle and the ascending aorta which prevents backflow into the left ventricle. Aortic Valves,Valve, Aortic,Valves, Aortic
D001705 Bioprosthesis Prosthesis, usually heart valve, composed of biological material and whose durability depends upon the stability of the material after pretreatment, rather than regeneration by host cell ingrowth. Durability is achieved 1, mechanically by the interposition of a cloth, usually polytetrafluoroethylene, between the host and the graft, and 2, chemically by stabilization of the tissue by intermolecular linking, usually with glutaraldehyde, after removal of antigenic components, or the use of reconstituted and restructured biopolymers.
