Angiographic appearance and re-operation in an adult patient with the Bland-Garland-White syndrome.
Reconstructive surgery was performed in a 57-year old woman in whom initially the left coronary artery had originated from the pulmonary trunk, producing progressive symptoms of congestive heart failure. Recurrence of shunting was documented by Doppler echocardiography and contrast angiography, necessitating a second surgical intervention 17 months after the first procedure.
