Abstract
Anomalous left coronary artery originating from the pulmonary artery, also known as Bland-White-Garland syndrome, is a rare congenital anomaly. This chapter elaborates:
1. Anatomy
2. Indication for surgery
3. Approach and cardiopulmonary bypass strategy
4. Reimplantation of an anomalous left coronary artery originating from the main pulmonary artery directly into the aorta (video)
5. Reimplantation of an anomalous left coronary artery originating from the from the right pulmonary artery directly into the aorta (video)
