Coronary artery anomalies, some of which are considered clinically insignificant, can be associated with other congenital heart defects, myocardial ischemia, and reduced life expectancy. We conducted a retrospective study to determine the efficacy of surgical treatment in 191 patients who had a total of 202 coronary artery anomalies, which were classified as anomalies of origin (88 patients), termination (93), or distribution (10). Of the 88 patients with anomalies of origin, 60 had a coronary artery arising from the pulmonary artery, 18 had a right coronary artery arising from the left anterior descending artery, and 10 had a coronary artery arising from the contralateral sinus of Valsalva. All patients with an anomaly of termination had a coronary arteriovenous fistula, and all patients with an anomaly of origin had a single coronary artery. The diagnostic and operative techniques for each of the defects are evaluated. Based on our experience, early diagnosis and surgical intervention can yield satisfactory results in patients with coronary artery anomalies, with most experiencing relief of symptoms. The operative procedures were associated with a low early and late mortality; in addition, few patients experienced complications.
