Abstract:
We report a new technique of left coronary artery implantation to the aorta with interposition of a tube created from the great arterial wall for anomalous left coronary artery from pulmonary artery. This technique was used in 3 patients, of which 2 patients survived. It achieves two coronary artery repair and avoids problems related to extensive mobilization of coronary artery for translocation. It is easily reproducible.
