Description

<p>Coronary ostial stenosis, treated by either percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication following surgical aortic valve replacement. However, in cases of complete occlusion of the coronary ostium (COCO), CABG is the typical treatment because guiding catheter engagement is extremely challenging. Herein, we presented a case of a patient with COCO who underwent successful PCI through a retrograde approach, and this case first demonstrates the feasibility of PCI for the treatment of COCO, which could help avoid the high risk of redo surgery.</p>
