Presented at the Thirty-First Annual Meeting of The Society of Thoracic Surgeons, Palm Springs, CA, Jan 30–Feb 1, 1995.
Background.: Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (PA) optimally is treated by creation of a multiple coronary system. This study explores the use of aortic implantation employing alternative methods to achieve coronary transfer in all patients, regardless of the site of origin of the anomalous coronary artery, avoiding the problems of bypass grafts and tunnel procedures.
Methods.: During the period 1986 to 1994, 11 patients aged 6 months to 8 years (mean age, 2.6 years) underwent repair. Coronary artery origin from the PA included left sinus in 3, posterior in 2, right sinus in 2, intramural aorta with its orifice at the bifurcation of the main and right PA in 1, high left main PA in 1, high at the bifurcation of main and right PA in 1, and anterior in 1. Findings included angina in 4, prior infarctions in 3, ischemia in 7, left ventricular dysfunction in 6, mitral regurgitation in 5, atrial septal defect in 2, and echocardiograms suggestive of endocardial fibrosis in 4. One patient had prior ligation with ventricular dysfunction and collateralization and recanalization. A single patient was asymptomatic. Repair was accomplished by direct transfer using the PA sinus of Valsalva as a button in only 6; tubular reconstruction was used in 4 when the distance was too great to avoid tension; 2 short tubes were constructed with PA wall in 2 of the 3 left sinus origins, whereas 2 long tubes of PA wall were used (1 high on the left side of the main PA and 1 with left anterior descending origin from the anterior sinus of Valsalva in a patient with malrotation [end neo-artery to side aortic reconstruction]); finally, in situ transfer and intraaortic reconstruction (unroofing and anastomosis) was performed in 1 intramural coronary artery. Division of the PA, mobilization of the distal PA, division of the ductus, and direct reanastomosis of the PA was performed in 3 tubular reconstructions, as well as all 6 direct coronary transfers.
Results.: There were no operative or late deaths. Follow-up of 2 to 100 months (mean, 46 months) revealed no new angina or infarctions, improved function and decreased mitral regurgitation. Echocardiographic and angiographic studies demonstrated patency and prograde flow in the new coronary systems.
Conclusions.: Aortic implantation is the treatment of choice for anomalous origin of the left coronary artery. Methods such as direct transfer, tubular reconstruction, and in situ transfer make such implantation possible in all patients regardless of the site of coronary origin, distance from the aorta, or coronary artery configuration.
