Abstract
A 19-day-old newborn girl weighing 1.9-kg was born with anomalous origin of the left coronary artery (LCA) from the pulmonary artery (PA). Because of the small anatomic structures and long distance between the anomalous origin of the LCA high within the left posterior sinus of the main PA, a simple transfer of the anomalous LCA to the aorta was deemed impossible. A coronary button was created with an oblique flap of tissue cut from the posterior pulmonary arterial wall. An oblique flap was created from the anterior aortic wall. The two flaps were used to create a tubular prolongation that connected the LCA to the aorta. This created a tension-free anastomosis with potential for growth. The aorta and PA were then patched with pericardium. A left coronary angiogram three years after surgery demonstrated a patent coronary tube.
