ABSTRACT

Background: Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) is a rare congenital anomaly. It represents 0.5% of all congenital cardiac malformations. It is the most common cause of myocardial infarction in children with 90% of mortality, and just a 10-15% of patients survived up to the adulthood. The surgical repair is the definitive treatment.
Case report: An 18 years old female born with a cardiac murmur, was diagnosed with ductus arteriosus and atrial septal defect. She underwent a surgical closure of ductus arteriosus. A year ago, angiotomography revealed anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery, so she was scheduled for implanting anomalous coronary artery onto aorta. Patient evolved satisfactorily.
Conclusions: Optimal solution of anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary trunk is based on the creation of a double coronary system.
