Key result
CABG achieves survival and graft patency in children with congenital left main atresia.
Why the study?
Congenital atresia of the left coronary artery ostium is rare and presents diagnostic and therapeutic challenges in children.
Case Report (n=2)
Surgical revascularization using bypass grafts is a feasible and successful treatment for rare congenital atresia of the left coronary artery ostium in young children.

Supports bypass grafting in rare pediatric coronary ostial atresia; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Gebauer et al. (2008) conducted a case report in Congenital atresia of the left coronary artery ostium (n=2). Myocardial revascularization (surgical bypass grafts) was evaluated on Survival and graft patency. Surgical myocardial revascularization using bypass grafts was successfully performed in two children with congenital atresia of the left coronary artery ostium, with both surviving and showing good graft patency.
