Off-pump reimplantation of anomalous origin of the right coronary artery.
A 30-year-old man was diagnosed to have an anomalous origin of the right coronary from the pulmonary artery. Through a mini-sternotomy, without extracorporeal circulation, reimplantation of the anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the pulmonary artery to the aorta was successfully performed. This is a successful case of off-pump cardiac correction of this type of isolated anomaly, using a minimally invasive approach.
