title: Atypical Bland-White-Garland syndrome with stenosis of the origin of the left coronary artery: catheter intervention after mammary artery bypass stenosis and residual fistula to the pulmonary trunk.
abstract: A 16-year-old boy with anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery, Bland-White-Garland syndrome, underwent a mammary artery bypass grafting to the left coronary artery (LCA) together with closure of the stenosed origin of the left coronary artery. A residual LCA to pulmonary artery fistula and stenosis of the shunt at the implantation site developed that resulted in a dominant perfusion of the LCA from the right coronary artery. Interventional catheterization was performed with stenting of the LCA mammary artery anastomosis and subsequent coil occlusion of the residual fistula. After this intervention the LCA was exclusively perfused by the mammarian bypass with no residual leak to the pulmonary artery.
