Abstract

A 79-year-old man with a failed 25-mm CE Magna Ease 3300 surgical prosthesis (Edwards Lifesciences) and of high re-operative surgical risk (STS 8%) presented with dyspnea, NYHA III. Cardiac computed tomography angiography revealed anatomy that was high risk for coronary occlusion with a short right coronary artery height of 6 mm and a valve-to-coronary distance of 2 mm.
