Transcatheter occlusion of an anomalous origin of left coronary artery from pulmonary artery in an adult as an alternative to surgery
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 October 2020
Abstract
Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery causes heart failure and death in infancy. In rare adult survivors with well-developed collaterals, surgical left coronary ligation to arrest steal is often combined with bypass grafting. Transcatheter left coronary artery closure in a symptomatic adult as an alternative to surgical ligation resulted in complete resolution of inducible ischaemia on myocardial perfusion imaging.
