Abstract
A modified repair technique in anomalous connection of the left corona ry artery to the main pulmonary artery is reported in which transfer o f the origin of the vessel into the aortic root is facilitated by augm entation with native aortic and pulmonary tissue flaps. This modificat ion reduces tension on the anastomosis and may enhance the likelihood of successful transfer of the left coronary artery into the aortic roo t. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
