Superior pulmonary arterial flap for the repair of the left coronary artery from the non-facing pulmonary sinus

Abstract

With this approach, coronary transfer using autologous tissue with growth potential is possible.

Switching strategies in complex transposition: Sometimes an arterial switch is not the answer

“…The resulting long button can then be tubularized directly or augmented with a patch to create an autologous coronary tunnel to the aorta. 3 In addition to the Takeuchi repair, other strategies can include interposition grafting with a harvested segment of common carotid artery, or left or right subclavian artery turndown to revascularize the remote coronary button. 4 Finally, if the ventricular septal defect and left ventricle to aorta pathway were large and unrestrictive, a Rastelli repair alone without DKS might have been sufficient.…”
