Abstract
We evaluated the change of coronary flow reserve using a Doppler guidewire before and after coronary artery bypass grafting to assess the coronary hemodynamic effect of surgical revascularization in a 13-year-old boy with congenital atresia of the left coronary ostium, which is one of the rarest of the congenital coronary anomalies. Coronary flow reserve in the right coronary artery and left anterior descending artery increased significantly after coronary revascularization, and a microvascular bed developed in the left anterior descending artery.
