  • Title: Patch repair of anomalous origin of the left main coronary artery from the anterior aortic sinus.
    Author: Li J, Lai H, Zheng J, Guo C, Gu J, Wang C.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 2014 Mar; 97(3):e59-61. PubMed ID: 24580950.
    Abstract:
    Anomalous origin of the left main coronary artery from the anterior aortic sinus is a rare but potentially lethal congenital disease. We report two adolescent patients with this anomaly who underwent surgical plasty using a saphenous vein patch, rather than unroofing or fenestration technique, as was typically done. This report suggests that surgical angioplasty can be performed safely and effectively to treat this anomaly.
