Difficult weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass after surgical VSD closure: An unusual rare case

Abstract

The connection of the left coronary artery to the pulmonary artery may be asymptomatic due to high pulmonary vascular resistance in the context of left-to-right shunts. Before the repair of the mentioned anomalies, coronary anatomy must be defined.

Keywords: anomalous left coronary artery connected to the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA); cardiopulmonary bypass; cardiovascular abnormalities; ventricular septal defect.
