Surgical Unroofing of Anomalous Aortic Origin of a Coronary Artery: A Single-Center Experience

Current practices are variable in the evaluation and management of patients with anomalous aortic origin of a coronary artery: Results of a survey

“…The long‐term natural and unnatural history of patients with AAOCA remains to be determined . AAOCA is a rare condition, necessitating multicenter collaboration for investigators to unravel the natural treated and untreated history of this condition.…”

“…The long-term natural and unnatural history of patients with AAOCA remains to be determined. [11][12][13] AAOCA is a rare condition, Although this is a step in the right direction, patients continue to be managed in a heterogeneous manner across institutions. This is a major hurdle/confounder to making reliable conclusions from these data, although certainly contributing to our understanding of AAOCA.…”

Wolff-Parkinson-White as a bystander in a patient with aborted sudden cardiac death

“…This procedure is associated with excellent results. In a single center experience, Sharma et al 9 reported a low morbidity and mortality with no aortic valve incompetency in 75 patients. Two of them needed right internal mammary artery–to-RCA grafting owing to flow acceleration at the RCA ostium.…”

Neonatal Repair in a Patient With Heterotaxy, Truncus Arteriosus, Pulmonary Artery Sling, and Tracheal Stenosis

“…The first manifestation of the AAOCA may be sudden death, although many patients may remain asymptomatic [2][3][4]. Several factors have been proposed to contribute to sudden death, including the intramural course, acute angle of take-off, systolic stretching, and compression of the anomalous CA between the great arteries during exercise [3,4].…”
