Coronary artery anomalies in tetralogy of Fallot have often compromised
surgical repair and imposed an increased mortality rate. Thus accidental
division of the anterior descending coronary artery crossing the right
outflow tract has previously usually resulted in death. The case is
presented of a 13-year-old boy with tetralogy of Fallot in whom the
anomalous left anterior descending coronary artery was divided. The blood
supply to the left anterior descending artery was successfully restored
using a reversed saphenous vein graft.
