ABSTRACT
An anomalous origin of the left coronary artery (LCA )from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA syndrome )or Bland-White-Garland syndrome is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly. We report a 65-year old female patient who presented with atypical chest discomfort. Coronary angiography and three-dimensional multidetector computed tomography coronary angiography demonstrated the ectatic right coronary artery (RCA )arising from the aorta, rich collaterals from the RCA to LCA and the ectatic tortuous LCA that originated from the pulmonary trunk.
