Computed tomography angiography in anomalous left coronary artery from pulmonary artery: a case series

نویسندگان

چکیده

Anomalous left coronary artery from pulmonary (ALCAPA) is a rare congenital anomaly with high rate of mortality in first year life. It one the most common causes cardiomyopathy and myocardial ischemia children. In present scenario, computed tomography (CT) angiography sufficient for diagnosis ALCAPA, eliminating need invasive angiography. CT performed infants suspicion ALCAPA technically challenging terms acquisition techniques, radiation protection diagnostic interpretation. this case series, we five cases diagnosed on was able to delineate anomalous origin (LCA) all cases. LCA noted arise posterior sinus trunk four main case. also identified extent inter-coronary collateral vessels, ventricular dysfunction signs hypertension.

The Anomalous Origin of the Left Coronary Artery from the Pulmonary Artery (ALCAPA): a Case Series and Brief Review

Background Anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) is a rare congenital cardiovascular defect that occurs in approximately 1/300 000 live births or 0.5% of children with congenital heart disease. There are two types of ALCAPA syndrome: the infant type and the adult type. The most infants experience myocardial infarction and congestive heart failure, and approximately 9...

Anomalous left coronary artery arising from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) is a rare but very serious congenital coronary artery anomaly. Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) coronary angiography has recently become the gold standard for depicting anatomical variations and anomalies of the coronary arteries because the origin and course of anomalous arteries can be demonstrated very accurate...

Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) is a rare congenital cardiac malformation. We report three cases of ALCAPA who survived to adulthood. The first case was a 51-year-old woman who complained of typical chest pain that was diagnosed with ALCAPA using cardiac catheterization and coronary computed tomographic angiography (CTA). The second case was a 30-...
