Repair of aorto-right ventricular tunnel with pulmonary stenosis and an anomalous origin of the left coronary artery

Eur J Cardiothorac Surg. 2002 Jun;21(6):1123-5. doi: 10.1016/s1010-7940(02)00115-x.

Abstract

A 5-month-old infant with aorto-right ventricular tunnel, pulmonary stenosis and a sole supply of the left coronary artery from the tunnel underwent closure of the ventricular end of the tunnel, subsequent to balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty. Care was taken not to obstruct the aortic end of the tunnel in order to maintain the left coronary artery perfusion.
