(A) Post mortem examination of the aortic valve and the ascending aorta, and (B) schematic representation of the band’s position found after opening the heart. (A) The intra-aortic band (*) was found at the sinotubular junction. The left coronary cusp (a) and the right coronary ostium (b) are shown below the band. (B) The band (*) was located between the commissures of the left coronary cusp (a). Moreover, the right (b) and non-coronary aortic cusp (c) and the mitral valve (d) are depicted
