Abstract

A one-month-old baby boy with a complete atrioventricular septal defect underwent pulmonary artery banding. A high take-off of the left coronary artery, overlooked on the echocardiogram, was identified. It was compressed by the right pulmonary artery that was dilated owing to pulmonary artery banding. The patient developed severe heart failure, and a Lecompte maneuver was performed. The procedure helped effectively treat this congenital heart disease with a high take-off coronary artery compressed by the right pulmonary artery.
