Successful Management of a Very Unusual Coronary Pattern in Transposition of the Great Arteries.

Abstract

Coronary artery anatomy is the key to a successful arterial switch operation in transposition of the great arteries. We came across an unusual coronary pattern in a child with transposition in which the three major coronary arteries were seen arising from all three aortic sinuses. This coronary pattern is the first of its kind in transposition, and this case report emphasizes the difficulty in translocating such a rare coronary pattern while performing an arterial switch operation.
