May support beating-heart LMCA reconstruction in select adult ALCAPA; leaves open need for larger studies on durability and generalizability.
Case Report (n=1)
Tubular reconstruction of the LMCA under a beating heart by clamping the LMCA is a feasible and safe surgical option for adult ALCAPA patients with well-developed collaterals.
Murashita et al. (1997) conducted a case report in Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (n=1). Tubular reconstruction of the left main coronary artery using the pulmonary artery wall under beating heart was evaluated on Postoperative course and coronary artery angiogram findings. Tubular reconstruction of the left main coronary artery under beating heart was successfully performed in an adult with anomalous origin of the left coronary artery, resulting in a widely patent LMCA.
