Abstract

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is rarely performed in infants because of its technical difficulty and unclear long-term results. A 90-day-old male infant weighing 3.5 kg who underwent an arterial switch operation (ASO) for transposition of the great arteries developed left coronary artery insufficiency despite augmentation and reimplantation of the left coronary button. On-pump beating heart CABG was performed using an internal mammary artery graft to revascularize the left anterior descending artery. Postoperative computed tomography angiography revealed that the graft was patent. At 7 months postoperatively, the patient weighed 8.5 kg, and echocardiography revealed good ventricular function. CABG can be an alternative treatment for post-ASO coronary complications in early infancy.
