Coronary ostial stenosis is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication associated with surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR).
In 1967, Roberts and Morrow first described coronary ostial stenosis as a complication of SAVR [6].
However, coronary ostial stenosis can develop after SAVR even without cannulation [10], and brief cannulation times with intermittent infusion of antegrade cardioplegic solution did not eliminate the risk [4, 11].
With technological advancement, PCI and stent placement can successfully treat coronary ostial stenosis with good early and late outcomes [5, 7, 12, 14-17].
Although coronary ostial stenosis typically occurs within the first 6 months after SAVR, we describe its identification in association with NSTEMI 22 months after the surgery.

The typical manifestation seen in homozygous Familial Hypercholestrolaemia patients are coronary ostial stenosis and aortic root stenosis which occur due to cholesterol deposition in the aortic root at a young age.7
