Abstract
Anomalous left coronary artery from pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) is associated with high mortality if left uncorrected. We describe long-term outcomes after surgical repair and ventricular function changes on long-term follow-up. A retrospective review of patients who had ALCAPA repair from January 1996 to December 2011 was completed. Ventricular function was assessed by shortening fraction and ejection fraction, left ventricular end-diastolic dimension, and severity of mitral regurgitation. Speckle tracking echocardiography served as a marker of early myocardial dysfunction. In total, 34 patients underwent ALCAPA repair at median age of 5 months (range, 3 days to 39 years). Surgical interventions included coronary translocation in 31 patients (91%), Takeuchi repair in 2 (6%), and coronary ligation in 1 patient (3%). Concomitant mitral valve repair was performed in 5 patients (15%). No patient required mechanical circulatory support postoperatively. There was no early mortality. At median follow-up of 6 years (range, 1 month to 14 years), there were 5 reoperations: 2 heart transplants (6%), 1 mitral valve replacement (3%), 1 coronary artery bypass graft (3%), and 1 ventricular septal defect closure (3%); there was 1 death 2 years ...Continue Reading
