A child with sickle cell disease and anomalous right coronary artery.
Sickle cell disease in children requiring open heart surgical repair is uncommon and requires specific perioperative interventions to avoid complications from intravascular red cell sickling. We present a rare case of a 14-year-old girl with sickle cell disease and an anomalous right coronary artery from the pulmonary artery.
