title: Left subclavian artery free graft as a salvage technique after failed coronary artery transfer in arterial switch operation.
abstract: Coronary artery transfer in transposition of the great arteries with single coronary artery or intramural coronary artery is still a technically demanding procedure. We present a technique of left coronary bypass using a free graft of left subclavian artery for the management of failed coronary artery transfer of left intramural coronary artery.
