How To Do It

Accepted for publication April 28, 1997.

Optimal revascularization of the rare variant anomolous intracavitary left anterior descending coronary artery requires, by definition, entrance into the right ventricular cavity. We present a simple method to repair the ventriculotomy without risk of obliterating the left anterior descending coronary artery, septal perforators, or diagonal branches.
