Özet

We present an extremely rare case of anomalous single coronary artery from the pulmonary artery in a 2-month-old infant with severe heart failure. Due to the unique coronary anatomy, a modified venous arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation technique was employed to maintain coronary perfusion and prevent coronary steal. Following surgical reimplantation, the patient showed significant recovery and remains stable at 2-year follow-up.
