Abstract

From Aug 2004 to January 2018, surgical treatment were performed on 10 patients with ALCAPA (3 males and 7 females). Mean age: 6.7  years.  Surgical technique:  5  cases  with direct transplantation; 3 cases with the Takeuchi technique; 2 cases with pericardial patch. Postoperative follow-up time was 24 ± 3.1 months. Posoperative results: mortality rate was 10%. Mitral insufficiency ( ≥ 3/4) was 30 %, LVEF ≥ 50%:80%. There was two cases of reoperation: one case due to severe IM, and one due   to   fistula   of   letf   coronary   artery   to pulmonary artery.
