An anomalous origin of the coronary artery is an uncommon congenital disorder. Even though the pathology is generally asymptomatic, it can present with life-threatening symptoms. Two cases with an anomalous origin of the right coronary artery are assessed. Though both patients' arterial anomalies were alike, the surgical procedure was different in each case. The unroofing technique and coronary artery bypass grafting are compared to evaluate different surgical approaches for a personalize treatment of the pathology.

Este trabajo evidencia la importancia de instaurar un plan de cuidados protocolizado para los pacientes portadores de asistencia ventricular permanente en la UCI, lo que evitaría complicaciones en el post-operatorio inmediato, reduciría los costes y el tiempo de hospitalización.
