Echocardiographic features after surgical treatment for Bland-White-Garland syndrome.
We recently studied a patient with the Bland-White-Garland syndrome (anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary trunk) who was successfully treated surgically using an autogenous pericardial tube for interposition between the aorta and the anomalous coronary arterial origin. Attention is drawn to the distinct echocardiographic pattern seen after this type of operation.
