Aorto-left ventricular tunnel arising from the left coronary sinus of valsalva

Abstract EN

Aortico-left ventricular tunnel is a rare congenital cardiac defect that bypasses the aortic valve via a para-valvular connection from the left ventricle to aorta.

In most cases, the tunnel arises from the right aortic sinus.

In this case report, we present a case of Aortico-left ventricular tunnel, in which the aortic orifice arose from the left aortic sinus, requiring special attention to avoid injuring the left coronary artery at the time of surgical repair.
