title: [Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery with rheumatic mitral stenosis--a successful surgical case].
abstract: A 43-year-old woman in whom anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery, associated with rheumatic mitral stenosis, was surgically corrected. She underwent aortic implantation of anomalous left coronary artery and mitral valve replacement. It was feasible to obtain a sufficient length of the left main trunk excising a large cuff of pulmonary artery wall surrounding the ostium of anomalous left coronary artery, without transecting pulmonary artery. This surgical case is first reported about BWG syndrome associated with rheumatic valvular disease.
