Surgical Repair of Congenital Atresia of the Left Coronary Ostium

Congenital atresia of the left main coronary ostium is a rare coronary anomaly presenting in adulthood. A 48-year-old man presented with unstable angina. Coronary angiography showed an absent left coronary ostium with a super-dominant right coronary artery retrogradely filling the left system. Computed tomography-angiography with 3-dimensional reconstruction confirmed the absence of the left main coronary artery. In view of ongoing chest pain, the patient was offered coronary artery bypass surgery. Total arterial revascularization was performed with a left internal mammary artery-left radial artery Y-graft.

Auricular reconstruction for congenital microtia is a complex multi-staged procedure. The repair of congenital atresia of the ear is one of the most difficult operations an otologic surgeon may attempt. in order to accomplish both procedures without endangering the integrity of either, there must be proper planning and close cooperation between the otologist and the facial plastic surgeon. In this article, we present our philosophy concerning the management and timing of these operations. The steps of each operation, and the impact of each on the other, are reviewed. Only through careful planning and coordination of these operations will patients realize the full benefit of their surgery. (OTOLARYNGOL HEAD NECK SURG 1988;98:600.)
