title: Left main coronary artery occlusion in an asymptomatic patient: late complication after arterial switch operation.
abstract: Long-term complications of the arterial switch operation for transposition of the great arteries include coronary artery stenosis and occlusion. We present a patient with high-grade left main coronary artery stenosis 18 years following the arterial switch procedure who was successfully treated with a left internal mammary artery to left anterior descending artery bypass.
