Abstract

Coronary artery occlusive disease that develops after an uncomplicated aortic valve replacement is well recognized. We present a case that required two further coronary operations and two salvage angioplasty procedures for a continuing fibrotic process in the ascending aorta. The literature and pathology are reviewed.
