Prevalence of anomalous coronaries has been reported as 0.6%-1.3% in adults in different angiographic series. The most common coronary anomaly is separate origin of left anterior descending (LAD) and left circumflex (LCX) from left sinus of...

Abstract: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is associated with a risk of coronary obstruction. This complication is potentially lethal when the origin of the coronary arteries is anomalous. We describe two cases of TAVI with the...
