A symptomatic neonate with tetralogy of Fallot, an absent pulmonary valve, and a single coronary artery with a major fistula.

30 Oct 2009 We present a case with a rare combination of tetralogy of Fallot with an absent pulmonary valve, and a single coronary artery with a major fistula to the main pulmonary artery. Myocardial ischemia developed in response to increasing shunt flow ... Read more...

Atypical presentation of anomalous origin of the left main coronary artery from the pulmonary artery.

29 Sep 2009 Anomalous origin of the left main coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) is a rare congenital anomaly that usually presents in childhood. Ninety percent of the patients with ALCAPA die within the first year of life without surgical ... Read more...

Aortic valve-sparing operations: dealing with the coronary artery that is too close to the aortic annulus.

30 Aug 2009 During aortic root surgery, one of the coronary ostia is sometimes found to lie too close to one of the commissures to allow its safe detachment as a button while still preserving the native aortic valve. In the past, this has prevented aortic ... Read more...
