This report shows the course of an infant with an abnormal left coronary artery origin arising from the pulmonary artery who underwent failed surgical reimplantation. Treatment entailed combined stent revascularization followed by intracoronary infusion of bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells. The patient was admitted with an acute coronary syndrome and low cardiac output; he was endotracheally intubated under respiratory assistance. Fourteen months after intracoronary infusion of autologous bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells, the infant remains symptom-free with significant recovery of the left ventricular function. These findings suggest that the combination of percutaneous revascularization and cell therapy should be considered in those infants or children in whom salvage therapy for ischemic heart disease is required.
