Abstract/OtherAbstract:
A modified repair technique in anomalous connection of the left coronary artery to the main pulmonary artery is reported in which transfer of the origin of the vessel into the aortic root is facilitated by augmentation with native aortic and pulmonary tissue flaps. This modification reduces tension on the anastomosis and may enhance the likelihood of successful transfer of the left coronary artery into the aortic root.
