Abstract:
Objective To review the experience of the surgical treatment of adult patients with anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery(ALCAPA).Methods A retrospective,single institution review was conducted on nineteen adult patients with ALCAPA surgical treatment from February 2006 to October 2012.Of these patients,five were males and fourteen were females.The age was(35.3 ± 11.7) years.The weight was (61.2 ± 9.4) kg.Most patients showed some evidence of myocardial infarction or ischemia with either abnormal Q waves (4) or ST-T abnormality (13).Twelve patients with coronary angiography and four patients with coronary CT scan showed good coronary collateralization.The preoperative UCG showed the mean left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF) was 0.60 ± 0.07,and the mean left ventricular end-diastolic dimension(LVEDD) was(52.4 ± 4.4) mm.Severe mitral regurgitation(MR) was seen in two patients,moderate in three patients and mild in four patients.The operative procedures included Takeuchi operation in seven patients,ligation of left coronary artery concomitant with coronary artery bypass graft in two patients,coronary artery re-implantation in ten patients.Of the ten patients with coronary artery re-implantation,two patients underwent mitral valve repair.Results There was no operative mortality.The mean cardiopulmonary bypass time was (144.5 ± 66.9) min and cross-clamp time was (96.4 ± 38.8) min,respectively.The mean mechanical ventilation time was(12.9 ± 3.7) h and intensive care unit time was(39.2 ± 12.5) h,respectively.The mean postoperative LVEF was 0.62 ± 0.04.No significant reduction in LVEDD (45.8 ± 5.5) mm,P ＞ 0.05.Mild and trivial MR were observed in one and four patients,respectively.Sixteen patients(84.2％) completed the follow up with a mean time of 19.2 months.All the patients survived with New York Heart Association class Ⅰ or Ⅱ.During the follow up period,no patient required reoperation or readmission.At the latest echocardiography,the mean LVEF of 0.63 ± 0.05 and mean LVEDD of(49.2 ± 4.6) mm did not significantly improved compared with the data preoperatively or postoperatively.Mild MR was detected in six patients,trivial in three patients during the follow-up period.Conclusion The adult patients with ALCAPA have a dormant disease process.Surgical treatment has been recommended at the time of diagnosis and the coronary re-implantation could be the first choice.As for the concomitant MR,the guideline for the adult MR should be followed.
