Abstract

We describe a technique to transfer an anomalous left coronary artery originating in the left posterior pulmonary sinus to the aorta. Both autogenous aortic and pulmonary arterial flaps create an extended left main stem without the disadvantages of standard rerouting techniques and full potential for growth remains.
