ABSTRACT
Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from pulmonary artery was first described in a child by Brooks. This ALCAPA syndrome is a rare congenital anomaly occuring in approximately 0.25~0.50% of children having congenital heart disease. Although approximately 80 to 90% of patients develop congestive heart failure and die in infancy, some pateints may present this syndrome in adolescents or adults. This anomaly was detected during elective coronary angiogram in a 63 year-old female patient with typical angina. Down-sloping ST depression was demonstrated on exercise stress ECG. Coronary angiogram and pulmonary angiogram revealed an anomalous origin of left coronary artery from pulmonary artery.
