Atypical Bland-White-Garland syndrome with stenosis of the origin of the left coronary artery: Catheter intervention after mammary artery bypass stenosis and residual fistula to the pulmonary trunk
A. Beitzke et al., Atypical Bland-White-Garland syndrome with stenosis of the origin of the left coronary artery: Catheter intervention after mammary artery bypass stenosis and residual fistula to the pulmonary trunk, PEDIAT CARD, 21(2), 2000, pp. 161-164
A 16-year-old boy with anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from th
e pulmonary artery, Bland-White-Garland syndrome, underwent a mammary arter
y bypass grafting to the left coronary artery (LCA) together with closure o
f the stenosed origin of the left coronary artery. A residual LCA to pulmon
ary artery fistula and stenosis of the shunt at the implantation site devel
oped that resulted in a dominant perfusion of the LCA from the right corona
ry artery. Interventional catheterization was performed with stenting of th
e LCA mammary artery anastomosis and subsequent coil occlusion of the resid
ual fistula. After this intervention the LCA was exclusively perfused by th
e mammarian bypass with no residual leak to the pulmonary artery.
