Batista Procedure for a Coronary Anomaly in an Infant: Long-Term Follow-Up

J Card Surg. 2016 Aug;31(8):556-8. doi: 10.1111/jocs.12775. Epub 2016 Jun 27.

Abstract

A partial left ventriculectomy (Batista operation) is extremely unusual in infants. Follow-up data are unknown. We report the findings at long-term follow-up in an infant after the Batista procedure, following reimplantation of an anomalous coronary artery. The initial approach and options for management are discussed, along with late cardiac remodeling. doi: 10.1111/jocs.12775 (J Card Surg 2016;31:556-558).
