Autologous patch angioplasty of the left main coronary artery in a pediatric patient: 7-year follow-up.
We present a patient who developed ischemia after an arterial switch procedure for transposition of the great vessels secondary to left coronary artery stenosis. The excellent intermediate-term result of patch angioplasty of the left main coronary artery with the use of an internal thoracic artery patch is outlined.
