From 1972 to September, 1979, 20 patients underwent transplantation of the anomalous left coronary artery to the aorta, either directly or via a graft. Correction of ischemia-induced mitral insufficiency was associated in eight patients and a postinfarction left ventricular scar was excised in 12. Operative mortality was high among patients under 1 year of age (4/5). Among older children it was 15%. There were not late deaths among patients surviving the operation (mean follow-up 3 years). All but one had marked clinical improvement and reduction of cardiomegaly. Eleven patients underwent angiographic control, with a patent graft or anastomosis demonstrated in every case. Operation is advocated for patients over 1 year of age. The best treatment of symptomatic infants remains controversial. |
