Repeat Repair After Translocation of an Anomalous Left Coronary Artery

Ann Thorac Surg. 2024 Aug;118(2):506-509. doi: 10.1016/j.athoracsur.2024.03.036. Epub 2024 May 22.

Abstract

We repaired a left anomalous aortic origin of coronary artery using coronary ostium translocation/reimplantation. Repeat repair was required due to suboptimal flow pattern in postoperative transesophageal echocardiography, which was confirmed with coronary angiography. We emphasize the importance of early recognition, diagnosis, and intervention to deal with a problem with the coronary repair.
