Summary
After excising, or cutting out, the anomalous coronary artery opening on the pulmonary artery, the provider relocates it to the aorta by means of an anastomosis. He uses a patch graft to close the opening in the pulmonary artery. He performs the procedure to restore circulation to the heart and prevent or correct congestive heart failure, typically in infants with congenital heart defects.
