Abstract

For the anomalous aortic origin of the coronary artery with interarterial course, surgical repair is recommended. We describe a technique of neo-ostium creation at the correct anatomic position for the right coronary artery arising from a single left coronary ostium without an intramural course and coursing between the ascending aorta and the main pulmonary artery.
