Surgical management of aortopulmonary window with pulmonary artery dilatation causing left main coronary compression
Keyword(s):
Abstract Aortopulmonary window is a rare congenital heart defect. Left main coronary artery extrinsic compression by an enlarged pulmonary artery is a rare complication and a potential cause for chest pain and sudden cardiac death in patients with pulmonary hypertension. Here, we present the case of a 14-year-old boy with a large aortopulmonary window who was planned for a device closure, but during the procedure, he developed ST-T segment changes while the device was being deployed, and hence the procedure was abandoned. The boy subsequently underwent a successful surgical closure thereafter.
