Abstract
Right coronary arteries that arise from the left sinus or ectopically from the right sinus with a slit ostium can cause myocardial ischemia, myocardial infarction, or sudden death. The surgical repair of these anomalies has evolved toward a simpler operation that widens the orifice of origin and reduces the compression of the intramural segment. We have repaired these anomalies without mortality in 8 patients. We summarize our experience and the evolution of this procedure.
