Aorta-right atrial tunnel is a rarely seen congenital anomaly
with an unknown etiopathology. Due to its life-threatening
complications, it must be treated either surgically or by
transcatheterization technique as soon as possible. Planning
the treatment strategy considering the relation between the
aorta-right atrial tunnel and coronary arteries is of utmost
importance. Herein, we report a young case of a right coronary
artery ostium originating from the proximal part of aorta-right
atrial tunnel and her successful treatment with a new surgical
technique using a pericardial patch.
