LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Aortic implantation of anomalous left coronary artery

Hugh O'Kane, FRCS

Consultant Cardiac Surgeon

Belfast, Northern Ireland

To the Editor:

My attention was drawn, rather belatedly, to the excellent article by Laks and associates in the March 1995 issue of the Journal (1995;109:519-23). In this, they described an improved surgical approach to the implantation of the anomalous left coronary artery, which they have used since April 1990. My colleagues and IGo 1 described this technique in a report in The Annals of Thoracic Surgery in 1986, having used it in a baby who had been operated on in 1981. They failed to refer to it.

As I often say to my own junior staff when writing an article, thoroughness of the literature review is one of the basic essentials and would avoid such an omission.
