Abstract:
A 7-year-old girl underwent transannular patching under the mobilized anomalous right coronary artery across the right ventricular outflow to treat progressing infundibular stenosis 6 years after total repair of the tetralogy of Fallot. The procedure completely relieved recurrent stenosis. Simultaneous angiography of the coronary artery and right ventricle were useful in precisely evaluating coronary anatomy.
