The Takeuchi procedure involves the creation of an aortopulmonary window and an intrapulmonary tunnel that 'baffles' the aorta to the ostium of the anomalous left coronary artery. The most common late complication of the Takeuchi procedure is the presence of a baffle leak. Percutaneous baffle leak occlusion via vascular plug and coronary bypass of the LAD can successfully treat a baffle leak with excellent short-term follow-up.
