Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from pulmonary artery a late presentation—Case report and review of literature

Abstract: An otherwise healthy 26-year-old female presented with sudden cardiac arrest. She was resuscitated with unsynchronized cardioversion for ventricular fibrillation. A left heart cardiac catheterization showed anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA). Cardiac computed tomographic angiography confirmed this abnormality. She underwent direct translocation of the left main coronary artery to the aorta, and after a stormy postoperative course was discharged home. ALCAPA is a rar… Show more

[5,6] In the present case, besides ALCAPA, high take-off, the right coronary artery is also identified.…”

“…Owing to sufficient blood supply through collaterals from RCA to LCA however, some of the patient survive to adulthood. These patients are either asymptomatic, as in our case, or present with signs and symptoms of myocardial ischemia, left ventricular dysfunction, mitral regurgitation, malignant arrhythmias or sudden cardiac death [ 3 - 5 ].…”
