Abstract
We report on an unusual case of surgical repair for anomalous origin of the coronary artery from the pulmonary artery, in a young patient who underwent tunnel repair with concomitant heterotopic heart transplantation to support severely impaired left ventricular function. Four years later, the graft was removed after confirmation of ventricular arrest and excellent recovery of the patient's own heart.
