Abstract
A modified procedure to create an alternative ostium for the left coronary artery was successfully carried out in a patient having anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the right coronary sinus of the aorta. The proximal portion of the artery had an intramural course. The newly constructed orifice was widely patent and functioning well 44 months later, without episodes of myocardial ischemia or aortic regurgitation.
