(B) Postoperative computed tomographic scan with evidence of the patent proximal left circumflex artery (white arrow) and its vicinity with the anterolateral (Ac) and posteromedial (Pc) commissure of the mitral valve (grey arrows). (CCA = circumflex coronary artery; LM = left main artery; M = mitral valve; T = tricuspid valve; PDA = posterior descending artery; PT = pulmonary trunk; RCA = right coronary artery.)
