Anomalous Aortic Origin of a Coronary Artery: Surgical Repair With Anatomic- and Function-Based Follow-Up.

CONCLUSIONS: Our multidisciplinary program uses a treatment algorithm to select patients with AAOCA for surgical intervention. Only a small subset requires an operation, and we favor unroofing and translocation techniques. With this paradigm, outcomes are excellent, as validated with anatomic- and function-based testing.
