Abstract
Sickle cell disease in children requiring open heart surgical repair is uncommon and requires specific perioperative interventions to avoid complications from intravascular red cell sickling. We present a rare case of a 14-year-old girl with sickle cell disease and an anomalous right coronary artery from the pulmonary artery.
