Abstract
We report a new technique of left coronary artery implantation to the aorta
with interposition of a tube created from the great arterial wall for anom
alous left coronary artery from pulmonary artery. This technique was used i
n 3 patients, of which 2 patients survived. It achieves two coronary artery
repair and avoids problems related to extensive mobilization of coronary a
rtery for translocation. It is easily reproducible. (C) 2001 by The Society
