Objective To review the experience of the surgical treatment of child patients with anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA). Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 56 children patients with ALCAPA underwent coronary re-implantation in our hospital from April 2004 through February 2015. There were 35 males and 21 females at mean age of 25.5 (7.3-60.0) months. Nineteen patients (33.9%) were less than 1 year of age. The mean weight was 11.8 (7.8-19.8) kg. Results There was one death in-hospital. The mean cardiopulmonary bypass time and cross-clamp time was 131.8± 61.2 min and 83.4± 32.1min, respectively. The mean mechanical ventilation time and intensive care unit time was 12.5 (6.5-43.8) h and 49.0 (21.0-116.0) h, respectively. Three patients underwent extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support and weaned off successfully. The mean postoperative left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF, 63.4%± 15.8% vs. 50.6%± 18.7%) and left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDD, 36.4± 32.5 mm vs. 42.3± 7.4 mm) significantly improved compared postoperative (P < 0.05). The mitral regurgitation (MR) distribution in the 15 patients underwent mitral valve repair was:moderate in 2 patients, mild in 8 patients, trivial in 2 patients and none in 3 patients. The MR in the other 41 patients improved or did not change. The survivors completed the follow-up for a mean time of 45.4± 23.6 months. During the follow-up period, one patient died due to noncardiac reason. No patient required reoperation or readmission. All the patients survived with New York Heart Association heart function classⅠor classⅡ. At the latest echocardiography, the mean LVEF (62.8%± 5.0%) significantly improved compared with the LVEF of discharge. The MR distribution was moderate in 6 patients, mild in 24 patients, trivial in 4 patients and none in 21 patients. Conclusion The coronary re-implantation has a satisfactory mid-term result for patients with ALCAPA. Mitral valve repair is recommended for the patients with severe regurgitation and evident ischemic lesions of the papillary muscles.
