Syncope in a child owing to intramural course of the left coronary artery

A 7-year-old boy diagnosed with aortic insufficiency was treated with a Ross procedure and he had an associated right intramural coronary artery. Although preoperative angiocardiography showed that the right and left coronary artery orifices were close together, a right intramural coronary artery could not be diagnosed by transthoracic echocardiography. Intraoperative findings showed that the right coronary artery was intramural for a distance of 7 mm. As a result, a longer single coronary button was harvested and transplanted to the pulmonary autograft. The postoperative course was uneventful; coronary ischemia did not occur and aortic valve function was preserved.
