ONGOING TECHNOLOGIC advancements in percutaneous coronary intervention for coronary
artery disease have given rise to an increasing number of coronary ostial interventions
for coronary artery disease.

The authors here report two patients in whom previously inserted coronary ostial
stents protruding into the aorta were evaluated by intraoperative transesophageal
echocardiography (TEE) during cardiac surgery. The possible factors that guide the
nature of intervention in such situations are also discussed.Key Words
