Abstract

Injury of a coronary cusp of the aortic valve is a rare complication that can occur during coronary angiography. It usually occurs from multiple attempts with different catheters to access the ostia of the right coronary artery, but it has also occurred accessing the ostia of the left coronary artery. We present the case of a patient who underwent coronary angiography with suspected coronary cusp injury that remained asymptomatic but was found to have severe aortic regurgitation during coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) one week later, requiring an aortic valve replacement.<br />Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist.<br /> (Copyright © 2024, Bowman et al.)
