Surgical Management of Aorto-Ventricular Tunnel. A Multicenter Study

This study reviews our collective 30-year experience with the surgical treatment of AoVT. Data was submitted by 15 participating centers on 42 patients who underwent correction of AoVT between 1987 and 2018. Of these, 36 had AoLVT, and six AoRVT. The tunnel originated above the right coronary sinus in 28 (77.8%) patients.
