Aorta-right atrium tunnel and mitral valve prolapse complicated with flail leaflet: a case report of a multimodality approach for an accurate diagnosis
ARAT is a complex congenital disorder that presents diagnostic and treatment challenges, requiring multimodal imaging and teamwork. Since the RCA originates deep within the tunnel and is associated with MVP complicated by flail leaflet and severe regurgitation, we recommend surgical intervention as the appropriate treatment approach. Considering the patient's preferences, conservative treatment was chosen.
