Abstract:
Intraoperative near-infrared spectroscopy cerebral oxygenation monitoring assists intraoperative decision-making in environments without extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), left ventricular assist device (LVAD) or access to cardiac transplantation. We report a case of an anomalous left coronary artery arising from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA), undergoing cardiac surgery. A 4-month-old infant presented in extremis with cardiac failure. We discuss the pathophysiology and challenging intraoperative management of ALCAPA with extensive ischaemia and myocardial infarction.
