Abstract:
We report a case of the successful anatomical correction of the Taussig-Bing anomaly associated with the interrupted aortic arch and intramural left coronary artery for an 38 day-old infant. Aortic arch and neoaortic reconstructions were conducted without any prosthetic or pericardial patch. Intramural left coronary was separated from right one after partial detachment of aortic commissure and both coronary artery buttons were transferred separately to the proximal main pulmonary artery(neo-aorta). Delayed sternal closure was done 3 days after the operation and hospital discharge was delayed for a month because of postoperative pneumonia. Now he is 5 months old and free of symptoms and cardiac drugs.
