Abstract

Abnormal origin of the coronary artery in children with hypoplastic left heart syndrome is an extremely rare defect. We describe a newborn with concomitant hypoplastic left heart syndrome and abnormal origin of the left coronary artery arising from the right pulmonary artery. A Norwood procedure and direct reimplantation of the left coronary artery to the ascending aorta was performed.
