Abstract

Anomalous origin of the pulmonary artery is one of rarely congenital heart diseases  (CHDs), accounts for about 0,096% CHDs. These leisons include: one pulmonary artery originates from ascending aorta and one pulmonary artery originates from truns pulmonary artery. Most patients undergo classic open heart surgery for repair. We present a case of anomalous origin of the pulmonary artery arises from brachiocephalic trunk. Successful repair was accomplished using a minimally invasive right axillary thoracotomy without Cardiopulmonary bypass.
