Anomalous aortic origin of the coronary artery: Does pulmonary artery translocation affect coronary artery course?

Abstract

Konno procedure. An additional annular enlargement anteriorly also keeps the Manouguian incision to the minimum if needed and minimizes any potential mitral valve dysfunction. This proposed modified extended 2-patch technique enlarges the proximal aorta in 2 directions from the annulus to ascending aorta. In the context of reoperative aortic reconstruction, it can be used as an alternative to total aortic root replacement and coronary reimplantation.
