A 46-year-old man with anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (Bland-White-Garland syndrome) is reported. We successfully performed coronary artery bypass grafting with the use of bilateral internal thoracic arteries and ligation of the anomalous left coronary artery. The patient was discharged from the hospital after an uneventful postoperative course and postoperative coronary angiography, which revealed patent internal thoracic arteries and no leakage of blood flow from the anomalous left coronary artery to the pulmonary artery. This surgical procedure is technically simple and useful for adult patients with Bland-White-Garland syndrome. To our knowledge, this is one of only a few reports on coronary artery bypass grafting with bilateral internal thoracic arteries as a treatment of Bland-White-Garland syndrome.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007387 Internal Mammary-Coronary Artery Anastomosis Direct myocardial revascularization in which the internal mammary artery is anastomosed to the right coronary artery, circumflex artery, or anterior descending coronary artery. The internal mammary artery is the most frequent choice, especially for a single graft, for coronary artery bypass surgery.
