We report a 5-year-old girl with
a diagnosis of an anomalous origin of the left coronary artery
from the pulmonary artery with an intramural aortic route. The
left coronary artery entered the aortic wall running parallel
to the aorta. With the aid of cardiopulmonary bypass, she underwent
establishment of two coronary artery systems by intraaortic reconstruction
(unroofing and anastomosis). Her postoperative course was uneventful.
Postoperative cineangiogram demonstrated patency and prograde
flow in the new coronary systems.
