Abstract
A preoperative LV end-diastolic diameter above 40 mm is the strongest predictor for postoperative temporary MCS after anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery repair in infancy. However, even with temporary MCS, direct aortic reimplantation for anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery can be performed with no mortality and excellent LV recovery.
