Abstract

A case of left main coronary artery stenosis is presented in a boy late after an arterial switch operation, with significant ischaemia during exercise with good collateralisation through the right coronary artery. The problem was successfully managed with minimally invasive off-pump coronary artery bypass through median re-sternotomy.
