We describe a simple and cost-effective technique to repair anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the left coronary artery in tetralogy of Fallot. The proximal right coronary artery is re-implanted into the aorta after it is mobilized and transected. This technique avoids the use of conduits in infants or adults with tetralogy of Fallot and anomalous right coronary arteries, and maintains the growth potential of the translocated native coronary artery.
