Percutaneous coronary intervention in four month old infant for acute myocardial ischemia after repaired ALCAPA: Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in infant for Graft Stenosis of a Reimplanted Left Main Coronary Artery

Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) is rare, but life-threatening condition. The treatment of choice in patients with ALCAPA is the establishment of a dual coronary artery system with surgical reimplantation of the left coronary artery in the left coronary sinus. Percutaneous coronary intervention is infrequent in the pediatric population but can be a life-saving by promptly restoring flow to an obstructed coronary artery. It is a highly demanding and high-risk procedure in infants due to the technical difficulties and the small coronary artery diameter in infants.
