Transatrial selective coronary arteriography in pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum

The significance of ventriculo-coronary arterial connections in the setting of pulmonary atresia with an intact ventricular septum

“…approach. 117 In addition to determining whether a coronary artery is stenotic, and establishing the degree of obstruction or site of any interruption, it is important to ascertain that the involved coronary arteries retain their patent origins from the aorta (see Figs 1 and 9-12). As we have already discussed, patients have been described when both coronary arteries, or the left coronary artery, lack their normal patent proximal origin from the aorta [106][107][108][109][110][111][112] (Figs 9 and 10).…”
