Abstract
Left main coronary artery atresia (LMCAA) is a rare congenital malformation with a nonspecific and varied clinical presentation. Ventricular dysfunction and mitral insufficiency are expected ischemic consequences in the neonatal period. Left internal mammary artery (LIMA) bypass grafting (CABG) is uncommon because of the technical difficulties in performing this procedure in neonates. We describe LMCAA revascularization with a LIMA graft and mitral valve repair in a 7-week-old neonate with successful outcome 1 year postoperatively.
