| Popis: |
Anomalous left coronary artery origin from pulmonary artery causes heart failure in infancy from ischemia and secondary mitral regurgitation. Rich intramyocardial collateralization may permit survival to adult age, where coronaries become tortuous and aneurysmally dilated. Surgery in adults involves left coronary ligation and providing a bypass graft to the left system, unlike coronary translocation adopted in infants. Unfavorable coronary remodeling in operated adults may lead to late coronary thrombotic occlusions. Two adults with markedly dilated tortuous coronary arteries showed variable remodeling after corrective intervention that impacted outcomes on follow-up. We stress the need for lifelong angiographic surveillance in older patients. |
