Successful application of pulmonary arterial patch for coronary angioplasty late after arterial switch operation.
Pulmonary artery is infrequently utilized as a material for coronary patch angioplasty in children. We applied a pulmonary arterial patch for coronary angioplasty on an 8-year-old boy with total occlusion of the left main coronary artery late after an arterial switch operation. The pulmonary arterial patch was easy to handle and the immediate result after the operation was satisfactory.
