Anomalous origin of left coronary artery from pulmonary artery associated with an aorto-pulmonary septal defect.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Aorto-pulmonary septal defects and anomalous origins of left coronary artery from pulmonary artery are briefly discussed. The difficulties of diagnosis and surgical correction are put forward in a situation when the left coronary artery arises from a site of high pressure and saturation, such as the pulmonary artery in the presence of an aorto-pulmonary septal defect, as in the case described.

Different Presentation of Anomalous Origin of the Left Coronary Artery from the Pulmonary Artery in Adults: Case Reports
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-...

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...
متن کاملAnomalous origin of the left pulmonary artery from the ascending aorta in two children with pulmonary atresia, sub-aortic ventricular septal defect and right-sided major aorto-pulmonary collateral arteries.
We report two rare cases of an anomalous origin of the left pulmonary artery (AOLPA) from the ascending aorta, associated with pulmonary atresia, a ventricular septal defect and a left aortic arch. The cases are unusual because AOLPA is more commonly associated with a right aortic arch and it is more usual for the right pulmonary artery to originate anomalously from the ascending aorta. The pul...

Only two cases have been reported previously of the association of ventricular septal defect (VSD) with anomalous origin of the left coronary artery (ALCA) arising from the pulmonary artery. The purpose of this paper is to present two additional cases, to describe the pathophysiology, and to emphasize how the clinical course of this combination of defects differs from that of isolated ALCA. Pat...

Intercoronary collateral flow within septal collaterals was detected by colour-coded Doppler echocardiography in three children with anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery. In each of the three patients angiography confirmed the presence of septal collaterals.
