| Popis: | Congenital atresia of the left main coronary artery (LMCA) is an extremely rare coronary anomaly that necessitates surgical correction. Patients with LMCA atresia may have various clinical symptoms, which are determined by the degree of collateral vessel development from the right coronary system, the metabolic demands of the heart, and concomitant mitral insufficiency caused by myocardial ischemia. Unlike in adults, there are limited surgical options for coronary artery disease in children. Herein, we report a case of LMCA atresia with mitral regurgitation in a 19-month-old child that was successfully corrected by coronary artery bypass grafting and mitral valve repair. |
