Correction of coronary arterial anomalies at surgical repair of common arterial trunk with ischaemic left ventricular dysfunction.
Common arterial trunk is frequently associated with anomalies of coronary arterial origin and distribution. We describe two infants in whom coronary intervention was performed during the repair of common arterial trunk, with reversal of ischaemic left ventricular dysfunction. We discuss the surgical implications of recognition of the coronary arterial anomalies during the repair of common arterial trunk.
