AbstractWe present the surgical implantation of the Edwards Inspiris Resilia® aortic valve in mitral position for mechanical mitral valve failure in a severely ill infant after valve replacement because of anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery. The biological valve was chosen because the child could not receive oral anticoagulation and was for several months on heparin infusion. The procedure was safely performed with good haemodynamic result.

This case study describes a newborn male infant with cat eye syndrome, found to have a rare constellation of congenital defects, which included an interrupted aortic arch, type B2 (with aberrant right subclavian artery), aortic valve atresia, aorto-pulmonary window, left coronary artery to pulmonary artery fistula, ventricular septal defect, atrial septal defect, and a restrictive patent ductus arteriosus.

A 61-year-old Chinese man presented with a nearly 30-year history of an anomalous origin of the left coronary artery. He had been diagnosed with an anomalous origin of the left coronary artery in 1989. He then underwent regular echocardiographic examinations and it was found that his heart was gradually enlarging. After a >20-year asymptomatic period, he developed recurrent chest discomfort and palpitation. Coronary computed tomography angiography suggested that the left coronary artery anomaly originated from the pulmonary artery; additionally, the right coronary artery was tortuous and thickened. Coronary angiography showed that the right coronary artery was huge and buckling. The patient underwent corrective surgery of the anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery, aortic valve mechanical valve replacement, mitral valve plasty, and tricuspid valve plasty in Fuwai Hospital (National Center of Cardiovascular Disease of China), and the anatomic results of the surgery were good.

Abstract OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine mid-term outcomes of patients with anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery undergoing coronary repair only (group A) or simultaneous mitral valve repair (group B). METHODS Patients with anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery who underwent surgery from 2000 to 2017 were reviewed. Mitral regurgitation (MR) grade (none, mild, moderate, severe), left ventricular (LV) function [ejection fraction (EF): <40%, 40–50%, >50%] and LV Z-scores (long axis) were assessed preoperatively and at last visit. Outcomes were compared within/between the groups using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. RESULTS Of 58 patients (67% women; median age 4.4 months), 39 patients were in group A (67%) and 19 patients in group B (33%). The median hospital stay (11 days, interquartile range 5–18) and average follow-up time (2.6 ± 0.5 years) did not differ significantly between the groups (P > 0.05). Four patients in group A (10.3%) underwent mitral valve reintervention. The median MR grade differed significantly between the groups preoperatively (2 vs 3, P < 0.001) but not at the last visit (2 vs 2, P = 0.88); both groups improved significantly (P = 0.021, P < 0.001). EF grade (<40%, 40–50%, >50%) did not differ significantly between the groups at baseline (group A: 38%/23%/38% vs group B: 58%/10%/32%, P = 0.32) or at last visit (group A: 18%/15%/67% vs group B: 26%/16%/58%, P = 0.75); both groups improved significantly (P = 0.004, P = 0.014). The mean LV Z-scores for groups A and B were 3.1 ± 0.5 and 4.5 ± 0.6 before surgery (P < 0.05) and 1.5 ± 0.3 and 2.7 ± 0.6 at last visit (P = 0.77). CONCLUSIONS The repair of anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery is associated with improvement in MR, EF and LV dimensions. However, in cases of ≥moderate MR, the risk of mitral valve reintervention may be higher in patients undergoing coronary transfer only.
