    Abstract:
    A 5-months-old baby was hospitalized with congestive heart failure. Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery was diagnosed on echo cardiography and coronary angiogram. Preoperative examination revealed severe left ventricular dysfunction (left ventricular end-diastolic pressure was 32 mmHg, left ventricular ejection fraction was 16%). Coronary revascularization was performed by anastomosis of the neo-left coronary artery to the aorta using an autologous pulmonary arterial roll under normothermic coronary perfusion. Although postoperative CPK-MB was within normal limits, the patient died on the 12th postoperative day due to ventricular arrythmia. Autopsy revealed severe endomyocardial fibroelastosis.
