Anomalous origin of left coronary artery from pulmonary artery. Ligation versus establishment of a two coronary artery system

R Bunton, RA Jonas, P Lang, AJ Rein and AR Castaneda

Between 1959 and 1985, 24 patients (mean age 38 months, range 15 days to 13 years) with anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery as an isolated lesion were treated surgically at Children's Hospital, Boston. In 11 cases a left coronary-to-aortic tunnel was created with a pulmonary artery baffle (Takeuchi) with no deaths either early or late over a mean follow-up period of 18 1/2 months. Late complications of this procedure include moderate aortic regurgitation (one), supravalvular pulmonary stenosis (two-one required a second operation), obstructed baffle (one-asymptomatic). In 11 cases of coronary ligation or ostial closure there was a 27% early mortality and a 25% late mortality over a mean follow-up period of 10 1/2 years. Late complications include residual shunt (three-two required a second operation), severe mitral regurgitation (one), and recurrence of angina (one). Two patients had other procedures. Both early and late deaths occurred in the group who had congestive heart failure and who had simple ligation. Five infants who had profoundly depressed ventricular function and moderate to severe mitral regurgitation, together with widespread Q waves on electrocardiogram, showed a dramatic improvement in ventricular function after the Takeuchi procedure. The Takeuchi procedure is a simple and effective means of establishing a two coronary artery system in the child with anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery. This procedure is particularly recommended over coronary ligation in patients in congestive heart failure.
