Subclavian--coronary artery anastomosis in infancy for the Bland-White- Garland syndrome: a two-year angiographic follow-up

Y Suzuki, T Horiuchi, E Ishizawa, T Sato, M Fukuda and H Kakihata

A 6-month-old female infant with anomalous origin of the left coronary artery underwent an end-to-end anastomosis of the left subclavian artery to the left coronary artery. A cuff of the pulmonary artery was used for the anastomosis. The child continued to have mitral regurgitation but has done well with medical treatment over the last four years. Cardiac catheterization 26 months after operation confirmed a patent graft without narrowing, improved contractility of the left ventricle, normal end-diastolic pressure of the left ventricle, and persistent mitral regurgitation. This technique is applicable in infants regardless of the size of the left coronary artery.
