title: Internal mammary artery grafting in a neonate for coronary hypoperfusion after arterial switch.
abstract: Coronary hypoperfusion may occur after the arterial switch operation, especially when coronary anatomy is complicated. We report successful use of the left internal mammary artery graft for a neonate with coronary hypoperfusion after the arterial switch operation for transposition of great arteries with intramural left coronary artery. Internal mammary arteriography showed a patent graft 19 months after operation.
