Anomalous left coronary artery arising from the right pulmonary artery.
In this study, we describe a very rare case of anomalous left coronary artery arising from the right pulmonary artery in association with coarctation of the aorta. A 3-month-old boy presented with refractory congestive heart failure since 20 days after birth. The initial echocardiography suggested the diagnosis of left coronary artery-to-right pulmonary artery fistula associated with coarctatio...
متن کاملDifferent Presentation of Anomalous Origin of the Left Coronary Artery from the Pulmonary Artery in Adults: Case Reports

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-...

متن کاملThe direction of blood flow in anomalous left coronary artery arising from the pulmonary artery.
MYOCARDIALI infaretion in infancy secondary to the anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery is now a condition that is being recognized with increasing frequency during life. One of the more interesting aspects of this congenital abnormality is the problem of the direction of the blood flow in the left coronary artery. In 1886 St. John Brooks1 first postulated that...
