| Popis: | Two cases (a 23-year-old man and a 33 year-old-woman) with Bland–White–Garland (BWG) syndrome (an anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery) are presented. Their first symptom was survived sudden cardiac death. Both patients underwent surgical repair. One patient received an implantable defibrillator because of serious structural changes in the left ventricle and symptomatic non-sustained ventricular tachycardia; the second patient is free of therapy. During long-term follow-up (10.5 and 4.5 years, respectively), ventricular tachyarrhythmias did not recur. Both cases show good long-term prognosis in resuscitated adult patients after surgical repair for BWG syndrome regardless of the presence of structural changes. |
