Abstract Coronary artery disease ranges from congenital in origin such as anomalous aortic origin of a coronary artery (AAOCA) to acquired diseases such as Kawasaki disease, and previously repaired
conditions such as transposition of the great arteries. It is not uncommon, in the long run, for proximal coronary stenosis to develop following arterial switch, AAOCA repair, Ross procedure and
Kawasaki disease leading to coronary artery bypass grafing (CABG). The objective of this report is
to discuss the indications, challenges, and outcomes of CABG in infants, children, and young adults
with acquired and congenital lesions. More >
