Left main coronary artery (LMCA) stenosis is present in approximately 5% of patients with congenital supravalvular aortic stenosis (SVAS) (Fig. 1) and is associated with an increased risk of sudden cardiac death. However, patients undergoing coronary artery intervention at the time of SVAS repair are at the highest risk of experiencing major adverse cardiac events. Literature reports of surgical techniques and outcomes of concomitant coronary artery repair in these high-risk patients are diverse and inconsistently described. We have recently adopted a standardized surgical technique for management of this complex pathology by combining extended LMCA patch augmentation with a 3-patch aortic root reconstruction (Brom's technique). In this report, we describe our contemporary surgical technique of 3-patch aortic root reconstruction with extended LMCA patch augmentation for patients with congenital SVAS with ostial LMCA stenosis and bilateral outflow tract obstruction. Institutional review board approval was obtained for retrospective review of patient charts.
