Abstract:
This is a case of a female infant with bilateral coronary ostial atresia associated with pulmonary atresia and ventricular septal defect. She developed coronary ischemia at 1-month of age, when she underwent an aortopulmonary shunt and an aorta-right ventricle shunt. The double-orifice tricuspid valve was separating the right ventricle from the left ventricle. She required extracorporeal cardiopulmonary support because of ventricular dysfunction and mitral regurgitation. Although she was temporarily weaned off the support after mitral valvuloplasty, she died from multiple organ failure. To the best of our knowledge, bilateral coronary ostial atresia associated with pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect has not been reported previously.
