Abstract

Aortopulmonary window is rarely associated with other cardiac anomalies, such as anomalous origin of one coronary artery. This exceptional association has been reported in 15 patients, with different surgical solutions. We describe 2 patients with aortopulmonary window with anomalous origin of the right coronary artery, one of which presented with tetralogy of Fallot-pulmonary atresia. A neonatal modified Blalock-Taussig shunt and ligature of the distal pulmonary artery at the level of pulmonary bifurcation was performed in the first patient, and the second patient underwent aortopulmonary window division with anomalous coronary artery reimplantation. Both patients had an uneventful postoperative course
