Abstract 

Coronary ostial stenosis is a rare complication of the Bentall procedure for aortic root and aortic valve replacement. We report a case of coronary ostial stenosis after a Bentall procedure that was detected by coronary computed tomography angiography and subsequent percutaneous coronary interventions.

Keywords: Bentall procedure, Cardiac computed tomography angiography, Coronary ostial stenosis, Percutaneous coronary intervention
