Left Main Coronary Artery Stenting in a Neonate After Arterial Switch Operation for Transposition of the Great Arteries

摘要

Anatomical correction of transposition of the great arteries (TGA) with an intramural coronary artery is associated with high risk of coronary complications such as vessel injury and stenosis. Here, we report on a case of left main coronary artery stenting in a neonate with single coronary artery after repair for TGA. Arterial switch operation (ASO) has become the standard of treatment for neonates with transposition of the great arteries (TGA) because of good outcomes and low mortality rates. The precise transfer of the coronary arteries is the key to successful surgery. However, after ASO, complications may occur in cases of anomalous origin of the coronary arteries, single coronary artery, or intramural arterial course.
