We describe the management of an infant presenting with severe heart failure at 6 weeks of age found to have an anomalous single coronary artery originating from the main pulmonary artery (MPA). This patient was transferred to our hospital and ultimately had their coronary artery translocated to the ascending aorta successfully. Preoperative severe left ventricular (LV) dysfunction and moderate/severe mitral regurgitation (MR) improved to normal function and mild-to-moderate MR 6 weeks postrepair. Three-dimensional CT reconstructions proved valuable and allowed for accurate preoperative planning leading to successful coronary transfer.

AbstractTetralogy of fallot is rarely associated with anomalous left coronary artery connection to main pulmonary artery. High index of suspicion is needed preoperatively to diagnose this association and treat successfully. We present a case of 9-year-old boy with the rare association of tetralogy of fallot and anomalous left coronary artery connection to pulmonary artery with a giant steal intercoronary collateral crossing right ventricular outflow tract who was treated successfully by single-stage surgical correction.

Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) with unilateral absence of pulmonary artery and the anomalous coronary artery is a rare combination. Detailed preoperative evaluation of coronary artery anatomy is must to prevent injury to the major vessels crossing right ventricular outflow tract. We report a rare association of single coronary artery with left circumflex artery crossing right ventricular outflow tract close to the pulmonary annulus in tetralogy of Fallot with absent left pulmonary artery in 11-year-old girl. Though there is a great diversity of coronary anomalies in tetralogy of Fallot, the prepulmonic course of left circumflex artery crossing the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) close to the pulmonary annulus has rarely been described in the literature. The patient underwent successful primary single lung intracardiac repair. Right ventricular outflow tract obstruction was treated by handmade valved pericardial autologous conduit and release of the tethering of hypoplastic native unicuspid pulmonary valve leaflet maintaining its integrity.

A 4-month-old infant with repeated painful shock-like episodes was shown by the progression of electrocardiographic findings to have coronary insufficiency and finally a myocardial infarction. Selective cineangio-cardiography demonstrated anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the main pulmonary artery with flow from the pulmonary artery to the myocardium. Preparations for surgical transplantation to the aorta were being made when the infant died. The feasibility of the proposed operation was demonstrated post mortem. A segment of the main pulmonary artery was excised with the coronary ostium at its base and converted into a tube which was anastomosed to the aorta. The defect in the pulmonary artery was repaired with a patch graft of Dacron.

Background: The optimal surgical strategy for tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) repair in neonates and young infants requiring early surgical intervention remains controversial. Our surgical center follows the uniform strategy of a staged approach with initial systemic-to-pulmonary artery shunt the majority of time when early surgical intervention is required. We characterized a contemporary cohort of patients with TOF with pulmonary stenosis (PS) undergoing staged repair in order to determine the rate of pulmonary valve-sparing repair (PVSR), growth of the pulmonary valve annulus and pulmonary arteries, postoperative morbidity and mortality, and need for reintervention. Methods: We retrospectively studied patients with TOF/PS who underwent staged repair from 2000 to 2017. Surgical details, postoperative course, and reinterventions were noted. Echocardiographic measurements and Z-score values of pulmonary valve annulus, main pulmonary artery (MPA), right pulmonary artery (RPA), and left pulmonary artery (LPA) diameters were evaluated. Results: Of the 59 patients with staged TOF/PS, PVSR was performed in 25 (42%). There was a 5% incidence of postoperative arrhythmia. The Z-scores of MPA, RPA, and LPA were significantly higher before complete repair when compared to before palliative shunt. The 5 and 10-year survival rates were both 93%, and the probability of freedom from reoperation at 5 and 10 years was 87% and 82%, respectively. Conclusions: Staged repair of TOF in young symptomatic infants results in 42% receiving PVSR, pulmonary artery growth, low incidence of postoperative arrhythmia, and relatively low rate of reoperations.

Coronary artery fistulas, including coronary pulmonary fistulas, are usually discovered accidently among the adult population when undergoing invasive coronary angiographies. We report here a 58-year-old woman with dual fistulas originating from the left anterior descending coronary artery and right coronary sinus to the main pulmonary artery, demonstrating noninvasively with multidetector-computed tomography (MDCT) and transthoracic echocardiography (TTE).

Coronary aneurysm located just above the left main coronary artery (LMT) is rare and difficult to treat. How the aneurysm is accessed is very important as it determines the result of the surgery. A 70-year-old man with a large coronary aneurysm (40 mm in diameter) in the LMT underwent surgery to prevent its rupture; however, there was severe adhesion. Initially, dissection of the ascending aorta or the pulmonary artery seemed necessary to access the aneurysm; however, the process was possible with limited dissection between the ascending aorta and the pulmonary artery, and we succeeded in firmly closing the LMT site of entry.
